X-ray crystallographic investigations of coordination modes in first-row transition metal complexes
Author(s): Jyoti Kumari
Abstract: This study focuses on the detailed crystal structures of metal-ligand complexes involving first-row transition metals (Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) to elucidate their coordination geometry and binding modes. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) was employed to determine the structures of these complexes, revealing significant variations in coordination geometry, bond lengths, and angles. Comparative structural analysis highlighted the influence of the metal center on the formation of monomeric, polymeric, or cluster structures in the solid state. The structural features were correlated with spectroscopic data (UV-Vis, FT-IR, and EPR) to provide a comprehensive understanding of the coordination chemistry of these complexes. The findings contribute to the design of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and coordination polymers with tailored properties for catalysis, sensing, and material science applications.
