Four dinuclear amino acid cadmium(Ⅱ) complexes [Cd2(tren)2(dl-alaninato)](ClO4)3·H2O(Ⅰ),[Cd2(tren)2·(l-alaninato)](ClO4)3·H2O(Ⅱ),[Cd2(tren)2(dl-phenylalaninato)](ClO4)3(Ⅲ) and [Cd2(tren)2(l-phenylalaninato)]·(ClO4)3(Ⅳ),constructed from mixed ligands of tris(2-aminoethyl)amine(tren) and racemic or natural amino acids(amino acids=dl- or l-alanine,and dl- or l-phenylalanine),have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography.The structural analysis of complexes Ⅰ and Ⅲ reveals that the cadmium centers are coordinated by one tren ligand and one amino acid molecule with the unusual (N,O,O')-bridged mode,resulting in asymmetric chromophores of CdN4O and CdN5O in complex Ⅰ,CdN4O2 and CdN5O in complex Ⅲ,respectively.The utility of the four complexes as efficient water-compatible Lewis acid catalysts for the direct aldol reaction in water was examined.The reaction proceeded smoothly to afford the corresponding β-hydroxy ketones in up to 99％ yield.Moreover,the diastereoselectivity of the reaction favors the formation of the syn-isomers.
