catena-Poly[[[triaquacadmium(II)]--3-carboxylatophenoxyacetato-³O³,O^3':O''] sesquihydrate]

S. Gao and S. W. Ng

Abstract: The dicarboxylate ligand in the title compound, [Cd(C₉H₆O₅)(H₂O)₃]·1.5H₂O, bridges triaquacadmium groups into a linear chain; the carboxylate arm that is directly connected to the aromatic ring behaves as a chelate, whereas the carboxylate arm of the oxyacetate portion binds in a monodentate mode. The octahedral environment of cadmium is distorted towards a pentagonal bipyramid, owing to a long CdO interaction of 2.721 (2) Å.
