N2 - Mononuclear zinc(ii) and cadmium(ii) complexes, ZnLCl2(1), CdLCl2(2), ZnL1Cl2·2H2O (3), and CdL1Cl2·2H2O (4), with chiral ligands containing a 2,2′-bipyridine moiety and natural terpene (+)-limonene (L) or (+)-3-carene (L1) moieties were synthesized. In these complexes theLandL1ligands are shown to coordinate Zn2+and Cd2+ions through the 2,2′-bipyridine moiety. The acetamide group of the ligands interacts with M2+ions by forming N⋯M2+and C-O⋯M2+contacts and N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds with coordinated Cl−ions. In solutions the complexes have several conformers differing by the degree of the turn of the acetamide moiety relative to the ligand core and the type of its interaction with the coordination core. The ligands and complexes exhibit luminescence with the quantum yield increasing in the order: ligand < cadmium(ii) complex < zinc(ii) complex. The complexes3and4demostrate excitation wavelength independent single-channel fluorescence. As opposed to3and4, the complexes1and2demonstrate excitation wavelength dependent emission with nanosecond and microsecond lifetimes of the excited states. According to our TD-DFT calculations, an interplay of ligand centered and halide to ligand transitions facilitates two deactivation channels in1and2: S1-S0and T1-S0
