Abstract top

The structure of the title compound, [Cd3Cl6(C15H15NO2)2(CH4O)2]n, is based on a layered zigzag polymeric chain along the c axis. The CdII ions are linked by double chlorine bridges alternating between one CdCl4(CH3OH)2 and two CdCl4(C15H15NO2) octahedral coordination units. Additional intrachain N-H...O and O-H...Cl hydrogen-bond interactions stabilize this arrangement.

Comment top

There has been an increasing interest in the coordination chemistry of cadmium in recent years due to the increased recognition of its role in biological organisms (Henkel & Krebs, 2004), as well as in molecular-based materials (De Girolamo et al., 2007). In the quest for molecular-based materials with interesting properties, much attention has been given to one-, two- and three-dimensional extended solids which involve cadmium (Suen & Wang, 2007; Wang et al., 2005; Zhang & Bu, 2008). Complexes of the type CdX2 (X = CI or Br) with organic bases typically form one- or two-dimensional halogen-bridged chain compounds with six-coordination octahedral cadmium(II). Here, we describe the synthesis and crystal structure of the cadmium(II) chloride complex with 2-[(4-methylphenylimino)methyl]-6-methoxyphenol.

The crystal structure of the title compound (I) has features of the monoclinic space group C2/c. As illustrated in Fig. 1, the structure comprises an alternating polymeric chain layer along the c axis. The CdII ions are linked into an infinite chain by double chlorine bridges, The Cd(1)···Cd(2) and Cd(1)···Cd(1A) distances in the molecule are 3.7087 (3) and 3.8756 (4) Å, respectively.

Related literature top

For related literature, see: Henkel & Krebs (2004); Suen & Wang (2007); Wang et al. (2005); Zhang & Bu (2008); De Girolamo et al. (2007). It would be much more useful to readers if the "Related literature" section had some kind of simple sub-division, so that, instead of just "For related literature, see···" it said, for example, "For general background, see··· For related structures, see···; etc. Please revise this section as indicated.

Experimental top

A solution of CdCl2 (2 mmol) in methanol (20 ml) was added to a methanol solution (20 ml) of the Schiff base ligand (2 mmol, 0.48 g). Red crystals of (I) were isolated after two weeks.

Refinement top

The H atoms bonded to C and N atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model [aromatic C—H 0.93 Å, methylic C—H = 0.96 Å and N—H = 0.86 Å, Uiso(H) = 1.2 or 1.5Ueq(C, N)]. The H atoms bonded to O atoms were located in a difference Fourier maps and refined with O—H distance restraints of 0.85 (2) and Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).

Special details top

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.
