Synthesis and Characterization of Ni(II) Complex with Terephthalate and Pyrazine Mixed Ligands by Solvothermal Method

Abstract:

This research aims to synthesize and characterize Ni(II)-terephthalate-pyrazine complex and to determine the thermal stability and porosity profile of the synthesized compound. The Ni(II)-terephthalate-pyrazine was made by solvothermal reaction using dimethylformamide at 130 and 150 °C and in Ni(II):terephthalic-acid:pyrazine mol ratios of 1:1:2 and 1:1:4. The precipitated products were characterized by infrared spectroscopy, SEM, and powder-XRD in order to confirm the presence of both ligand in the synthesized compound. Meanwhile, the thermal stability and porosity profile of the synthesized compound were determined by DTA-TGA and surface area analysers, respectively. Experimental data shows that green pale powder was obtained from all reactions in considerably good yield, which is different from the dark green crystalline solid of Ni(II)-terephthalate. SEM image reveals that the product has a smooth-wavy surface morphology. Infrared spectra of the synthesized compound show peaks of functional groups of C=O, C–O, C=N, and C–N groups, which confirm the presence of both ligands. Powder XRD analysis suggests that the crystal system of the synthesized compound is different from that of the Ni(II)-terephthalate. Based on these analyses, the targeted Ni(II)-terephthalate-pyrazine is successfully obtained. Moreover, the synthesized compound has lower thermal stability than that of Ni(II)-terephthalate, while the BET calculation suggest that the synthesized compound has pore volume of 0.10-0.14 cm³/g, pore diameter of 8.1-10.65 nm and surface area of 24-30 (m²/g). This porosity profile suggest that the synthesized compound is open for further application, such as adsorption or photocatalysis.
