Tris(1H-benzimidazole-N³)(thiodiacetato-³O,S,O')cadmium(II) dihydrate

T.-T. Pan and D.-J. Xu

Abstract: In the title complex, [Cd(C₄H₄O₄S)(C₇H₆N₂)₃]·2H₂O, the Cd^II atom is surrounded by three benzimidazole ligands and one thiodiacetate dianion to complete a distorted octahedral CdN₃O₂S coordination geometry. The tridentate TDA chelates to the Cd^II atom in a facial mode. A C-H interaction and hydrogen bonding between neighboring complexes help to stabilize the crystal structure.
