Di--chlorido-bis(chlorido{2-[(2S)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-1H-benzimidazole}cadmium(II))

D.-W. Fu and H.-Y. Ye

Abstract: The title binuclear compound, [Cd₂Cl₄(C₁₁H₁₂N₃)₂], was synthesized by the hydrothermal reaction of CdCl₂ and the homochiral ligand 2-[(2S)-pyrrolidin-2-yl]-1H-benzimidazole. Each of the two crystallographically independent Cd atoms has a slightly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry and is coordinated by two N atoms from the organic ligand, and by one terminal and two bridging Cl^- anions. The crystal structure involves intermolecular N-HCl hydrogen bonds. One C atom of a pyrrolidine ring is disordered over two positions; the site occupany factors are ca 0.8 and 0.2.
