Özet
Copper (II) [Cu(C4H5BrN2)(4)(NO3)(2)], 1 and cadmium (II) [Cd(C4H5BrN2)(4)Cl-2], 2 complexes based on 4-bromo-3-methyl-1H-pyrazole (4-BMP) ligand were synthesized and characterized through elemental analysis, thermogravimetry, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis, NMR, and IR spectroscopy. The structural analysis reveals that complex 1 crystallizes in the triclinic space group P-1, featuring a distorted octahedral geometry around Cu (II) centre, coordinated by four nitrogen atoms from the pyrazole ligands and two oxygen atoms from nitrate groups. Whereas, complex 2 crystallizes in the monoclinic P2(1)/c space group, in which Cd (II) ion similarly forms an octahedral geometry through coordination with four nitrogen atoms and two chloride ions. Furthermore, quantum chemical approaches are applied to evaluate the third-order nonlinear optical (NLO) response, a phenomenon frequently utilized in laser frequency modulation.
