Abstract
Background
The study and development of fluorouracil metal complexes are important in the development of new synthetic methods and materials with applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and materials science.
Mothodology
A new Cd(II) compound, (H-5FC) [(H-5FC) Cd Cl ] (1), (where H-5FC is HFlucytosine), was successfully synthesized and crystallized by slow evaporation at room temperature. The compound was characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique and UV–Visible spectroscopy.
Results
The structure shows that the compound constitutes of an independent protonated (H-5FC)+ cation and two protonated flucytosine molecules that coordinate to the Cd(II) ion via an oxygen atom to form a trinuclear [(H-5FC)2Cd3Cl10]2− anionic moieties. The independent protonated (H-5FC)+ bridges the [(H-5FC)2Cd3Cl10]2− anions via N/C–H···Cl/O hydrogen bonds. Supramolecular structure analysis of (1) with the aid of Hirshfeld calculations showed the importance of the H···Cl, O···H, C···Cl, and F···Cl interactions. Their percentages were calculated to be 42.2, 10.3, 6.6, and 8.7%, respectively. The band gap energy of the compound, deduced from the Tauc plot of the absorption spectrum, indicated a wide energy gap of 3.65 eV.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
