A two-dimensional cadmium(II) coordination polymer: poly[bis(nitrato-O)bis[-1-(4-pyridylmethyl)-1H-imidazole-²N:N']cadmium(II)]

Y.-F. Li and T.-J. Lou

Abstract: The title compound, [Cd(NO₃)₂(C₉H₉N₃)₂]_n, is a two-dimensional coordination polymer based on N-(4-pyridylmethyl)imidazole ligands bridging Cd^II ions. The Cd^II ion lies on an inversion centre and displays a distorted octahedral geometry, including four N atoms from four symmetry-related ligands and two O atoms from nitrate ions. The coordination arrangement results in an infinite two-dimensional rhombohedral grid in the crystal structure.
