Tetraaquabis(N-phenylsulfonyl-L-leucinato)cadmium(II) dihydrate

P.-G. Guan

Abstract: In the title compound, [Cd(C₁₂H₁₆NO₄S)₂(H₂O)]·2H₂O, the Cd atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and a distorted CdO₈ dodecahedral arrangement arises from the coordination of the two chelating ligands and four water molecules. A network of N-HO, O-HO and C-HO hydrogen bonds help to establish the crystal packing. Both coordinated and uncoordinated water molecules are disordered with an approximate half-occupation for each of the water molecules.
