Dichloridobis[3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1-phenylpropan-1-one-[kappa]N3]cadmium(II)

J.-H. Guo and H. Cai

Abstract: The molecular structure of the neutral title mononuclear complex, [CdCl2(C12H12N2O)2], is asymmetric, with the CdII atom located at the centre of a distorted tetrahedron. The CdII atom is coordinated by two N atoms of two distinct monodentate 3-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)-1-phenylpropan-1-one ligands and two Cl atoms. Intermolecular C-H...Cl and C-H...O hydrogen bonds link the monomeric units to produce a one-dimensional supramolecular chain in the [011] direction. These chains are further stabilized by intra-chain [pi]-[pi] stacking interactions between two neighbouring imidazole rings.
