2N:O;
2O:N\]In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cd(C15H14NO2)2(C6H7NO)2]n, the Cd atom displays a distorted octahedral geometry, including two pyridine N atoms and two hydroxyl O from four symmetry-related 3-pyridylmethanol (3-pyme) ligands and two carboxylate O atoms from mefenamate [2-(2,3-dimethylanilino)benzoate] anions. The Cd atoms are connected via the bridging 3-pyme ligands into chains, that extend in the a-axis direction. The Cd atom is located on a center of inversion, whereas the 3-pyme ligands and the mefenamate anions occupy general positions.
The title complex was prepared by adding 3-pyridylmethanol (5 cm3) to a solution of Cd(mefenamato)2.H2O (1.25 mmol) in methanol (20 cm3). The fine white microcrystals which are formed by slow evaporation of the solvent on standing for a few days at room temperature were separated, washed with ethanol and dried in vacuo, yield 85%. The Anal. Calc.: C, 62.18; H, 5.22; N, 6.91; Cd, 13.86; Found: C, 61.82; H, 5.31; N, 7.00; Cd, 13.45. IR (KBr) cm-1: 3279 ν(N–H); 1610 νas(COO-); 1385 νs(COO-); 1056 ν(C–O)3-pyme; 643 δ(py)3-pyme.
All H atoms were placed in calculated positions (O–H allowed to rotate but not to tip and later fixed at the optimized position) and were refined isotropic with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Uiso(parent atom) using a riding model with C–H = 0.95, 0.99 and 0.98 Å, O–H = 0.84 Å and (N–H = 0.91 Å, respectively.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The importance of metal complexes with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) as ligands has been stressed in several review papers (Cini, 2000; Weder et al., 2002). One of these NSAIDs are fenamates, which are derivatives of N-phenylantranilic acid and 2-phenylaminonicotinic acid (mefenamic acid, niflumic acid, tolfenamic acid, flufenamic acid). As part of our efforts to investigate metal(II) complexes based on fenamates, we describe the X-ray characterization of the title compound.
The CdII atom are in a distorted octahedral coordination formed by two carboxyl O atoms of mefenamate anions [Cd–O2 = 2.2475 (17) Å], two pyridine N atoms of 3-pyridylmethanol ligands (3-pyme) [Cd–N2 = 2.348 (2) Å] and two hydroxyl O atoms of adjacent 3-pyridylmethanol ligands [Cd–O3 = 2.3400 (17) Å] /Fig. 1). Each of the Cd atoms is connected via two symmetry related 3-pyridylmethanol into chains, that elongated in the direction of the crystallographic a axis.
The uncoordinated O atom of the carboxylate group of the mefenamate anion forms an intramolecular N–H···O hydrogen bonds to the amine H atoms as well as as intermolecular O–H···O hydrogen bonds to the hydroxyl H atoms of the 3-pyridylmethanol ligand, creating six-membered rings (Table 2).
The crystal structure of (I) can be compared with those of polymeric copper(II) carboxylate complexes [Cu(RCO2)2(3-pyme)2]n, which forms either coordination polymers with two bridging 3-pyme ligands between two CuII atoms or two-dimensional coordination polymer with only one bridging 3-pyme ligand between two CuII atoms (Moncol et al., 2006). [Cu(niflumate)2(3-pyme)2]n for example is one-dimensional coordination polymer, (Valach et al., 1997), while [Cu(flufenamate)2(3-pyme)2]n is two-dimensional coordination polymer (Lörinc et al., 2004).
