Figure 1
The molecular structure of (I), showing (a) discrete [Cd(bpph)4(H2O)2]2+ cations and (b) [Cd2I6]2− anions, with the atom-labelling scheme. Displacement ellipsoids are drawn at the 40% probability level. The aromatic rings labelled A–F provide the key to the intermolecular interactions listed in Table 3. N atoms are shaded grey. Note the disordered mode of the CdII cations within the iodocadmate linkage in part (b), denoted by open and solid bonds. [Symmetry codes: (i) −x + 1, −y + 1, −z + 1; (ii) −x, −y + 1, −z + 1; (iii) −x + 2, −y, −z.] |
