Benzimidazolium bis(1H-benzimidazole-N³)chloro(oxydiacetato-³O,O',O'')cadmium(II)

Gaduo, J.-R. Su and D.-J. Xu

Abstract: The title compound, (C₇H₇N₂)[Cd(C₄H₄O₅)Cl(C₇H₆N₂)₂], is composed of Cd^II-containing complex anions and benzimidazolium (HBZIM) cations. The Cd^II atom is coordinated by a tridentate oxydiacetate (ODA) dianion, a chloride anion and two benzimidazole (BZIM) molecules, forming a distorted octahedral CdN₂O₃Cl coordination geometry. The ODA dianion chelates facially to the Cd^II atom. The face-to-face distances of 3.444 (12) and 3.386 (5) Å between partially overlapped BZIM rings and between HBZIM rings, respectively, indicate the existence of - stacking in the crystal structure.
