Most of the research chemicals and solvents used in the current research works were reagents graded and used without further purification. The substances such as Cd(OAc)
2·2H
2O, DCM (dichloromethane),
NaSCN,
Ortho vanillin,
salicylaldehyde,
1,2-propanediamine, and
ethylenediamine were purchased from the Sigma-Aldrich Company, USA. Elemental (CHN) compositions were analyzed using a PerkinElmer
2400 CHN elemental analyzer. FT-IR/Raman spectra were recorded
via KBr pellets (4000–400 cm
−1) using PerkinElmer spectrum RX 1 and BRUKER
RFS 27 (4000–50 cm
−1) models.
1H/
13C NMR spectral analyses were performed on Bruker 400 MHz and 75.45 MHz FT-NMR spectrometers using TMS as an internal standard in DMSO-
d6 solvent. The EDX experiment was carried out on an EDX OXFORD XMX N using a W filament. The SEM images were recorded by a JEOL Model
JSM-6390LV. A BRUKER AXS model and a GERMANY D8 FOCUS model with Cu Kα
−1 radiation were used to perform PXRD. UV-visible spectra (200–1100 nm) were recorded using the popular Hitachi U-3501 spectrophotometer model.
