Abstract:

The title complex, formulated as Co(tda)(5-mphen)(H2O)(H2tda=thiodiglycolic acid, 5-mphen= 5-methyl-1,10-phenanthroline), was synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, X-ray single crystal diffraction, and TG-DTG techniques. The complex crystallized in monoclinic space group C2/c, with parameters of a=1.8142(2) nm, b=0.78251(9) nm, c=2.4624(3) nm, β=93.809(2)°, V=3.4880(7) nm3, Z=8, Dc=1.579 g/cm3, the final R indices [I>2σ(I)] are R1=0.0469, wR2=0.1021, R indices for all data are R1=0.0835, wR2=0.1169. The central Co2+ cation is coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry with the ligand tda, 5-mphen, and water molecule. The coordination complex possesses a three-dimensional framework by means of hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions. According to TG-DTG curves, the possible thermal decomposition mechanisms, the possible kinetic parameters, and equation of dehydration stage of the complex are obtained, that is, Ea=110.98 kJ/mol, lg(A/s–1)=8.554, dα/dT = 108.5546/β·3(1–α)[–ln(1–α)]2/3·exp(–13349/T), respectively.
