In the title polymer, [Cd(C2N3)2(C16H16N2O2)]n, the CdII ion is coordinated by two N atoms from one 2,9-dieth­oxy-1,10-phenanthroline mol­ecule and four N atoms from four symmetry-related dicyanamide ions in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. In the 2,9-dieth­oxy-1,10-phenanthroline ligand, the O and C atoms of the eth­oxy groups are located almost in the plane defined by the phenanthroline ring system. Two dicyanamide ions bridge two CdII ions, which are located on a twofold axis, forming a one-dimensional zigzag chain along the [001] direction. The 2,9-dieth­oxy-1,10-phenanthroline mol­ecules act as bidentate terminal ligands. There are π–π inter­actions between polymeric chains, characterized by a centroid–centroid distance of 3.7624 (2) Å between the phenanthroline rings of two neighbouring chains.

Comment top

The construction of novel coordination polymers with the metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) is a very important part of crystal engineering not only for specially functional material purpose but also for their fascinating structures (Fletcher et al., 2001; Brammer, 2004). As the crucial component and also the network spacers of the coordination polymers, organic or inorganic bridging ligands play important roles in the formation of MOFs. Besides, terminal multi-dentate ligands sometimes can tune the network topology constructed by transition metal ions and bridging ligands. So, combining bridging and terminal ligands to synthesize MOFs compounds have made rapid progress recently.

The derivatives of 1,10-phenanthroline are typical terminal bi-dentate organic ligands and also good candidates for building fluorescent compounds, due to the large aromatic ring system (Bing et al., 2004; Chao et al., 2000). Usually, bi-dentate terminal 1,10-phenanthroline ligands occupy certain portions of the metal coordination sphere to prevent the dimensionality of coordination polymers to increase from one-dimensional to two-dimensional or three-dimensional, while the one-dimensional polymer is constructed by other bridging ligands, such as dicyanamide ions (Wang et al., 2004).

Dicyanamide ion is a novel inorganic bridging ligand that has various coordinating modes in the formation of coordination polymers. As an end-to-end single bridge, it can link two metal ions resulting in a one-dimensional chain (Karmakar et al., 2006) or two-dimensional grids (Jensen et al., 2002). One dicyanamide ion can also bridge more than two metal ions through other bridging modes such as µ3– or µ4– modes, to afford two-dimensional or three-dimensional multi-dimensional frameworks (Jensen et al., 2002). An end-to-end double bridging mode has also been found in a few cases (Triki et al., 2001). As part of our continuing research of MOFs compounds, we communicate here the crystal structure of the title compound.

In the title compound, the central cadmium ion is in a distorted octahedral coordination environment in which two N atoms from a phenanthroline ring and two N atoms from two symmetry-related dicyanamide ions are located in the equatorial plane, while two N atoms from two distinct dicyanamide ions are in axial positions (Fig. 1). Differences in Cd—N bond lengths, which range from 2.2980 (15) to 2.3829 (12) Å, indicate the distortion from ideal octahedron symmetry around Cd centres. The bond angles around the Cd centre within the range 84.37 (5)–103.21 (5)° for the formally cis pair of atoms and 168.02 (6)–176.87 (7)° for the formally trans pairs, give further evidences for the distortion (Table 1). The structure of this compound consists of one-dimensional neutral inorganic double chains where two dicyanamide ions act as bridging ligands by their terminal N atoms, bridging two CdII ions on a twofold axis along the c cell axis. Two CdII ions along the chain are separated by 7.5776 (4) Å. The 2,9-diethoxy-1,10-phenanthroline molecule acts as a bi-dentate terminal ligand.

Two neighbouring infinite one-dimensional chains penetrate into each other through π–π stacking interactions, involving phenanthroline rings, with a centroid to centroid distance of 3.7624 (2) Å and a dihedral angle of 0°. These interactions contribute to the construction of pseudo 2-D layers in the crystal (Fig. 2).

It is noteworthy that only two CdII coordination compounds constructed using mixed ligands 1,10-phenanthroline and dicyanamide are found in the CSD database. One is a monomer (Lan et al., 2005), composed of two 1,10-phenanthroline molecules and two dicyanamide ions, [Cd(C2N3)2(C12H8N2)2], where two dicyanamide ions are in a monodentate coordinating mode and the Cd—N(dicyanamide) bond lengths are 2.251 (2) and 2.257 (2) Å. The other, [Cd(C2N3)2(C12H8N2)]n, however, is a two-dimensional coordination polymer constructed by one Cd ion, one 1,10-phenanthroline molecule, and two dicyanamide ions in one neutral structural unit (Luo et al., 2002). This compound has a molecular formula similar to that of the title compound, but its two-dimensional layer framework is very different from the one-dimensional chain structure observed in the present structure. The bridging modes of dicyanamide ions tuned by different terminal ligand, 1,10-phenanthroline in the literature (Luo et al., 2002) and 2,9-diethoxy-1,10-phenanthroline in the present work, play a critical role in the structural diversity. The diethoxy groups of 2,9-diethoxy-1,10-phenanthroline can occupy some positions that prevent the linkage of dinuclear subunits Cd-(C2N3)2-Cd by other end-to-end single bridges of dicyanamide ions and the formation of the two-dimensional layered structure. For one terminal ligand molecule, two O and four C atoms of two ethoxy groups are located almost in the plane defined by the phenanthroline ring system. One O and two C atoms of one ethoxy group deviate from the phenanthroline plane by about 0.11, 0.07, and 0.26 Å, respectively.

Experimental top

The organic ligand 2,9-diethoxy-1,10-phenanthroline was prepared according to a reported procedure (Pijper et al., 1984). A solution of NaC2N3 (0.016 g, 0.2 mmol) in CH3OH (10 ml) was carefully layered on a CH3OH/CHCl3 solution (5 ml/10 ml) of Cd(ClO4)2.6H2O (0.042 g, 0.1 mmol) and 2,9-diethoxy-1,10-phenanthroline (0.024 g, 0.1 mmol) in a straight glass tube. About two weeks later, colourless single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained. Spectroscopic analysis: IR (KBr, ν cm-1): 2990, 2293, 2184, 1603, 1507, 1299, 1041; Analysis: calculated for C20H16CdN8O2: C 46.84, H 3.14, N 21.85%; found: C 46.98, H 3.06, N 21.77%.

Refinement top

Carbon-bound H atoms were placed in calculated positions (C—H = 0.95 Å for C2, C3, C6; C—H = 0.99 Å for C7; C—H= 0.98 Å for C8), and were included in the refinement in the riding-model approximation, with Uiso(H) values set at 1.5 times Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms and 1.2 times Ueq(C) for other H atoms. The final difference map had a highest peak at 0.89 Å from atom N3 and a deepest hole at 0.71 Å from atom Cd1, but was otherwise featureless.
