In the title complex molecule, [CdBr2(C10H8N2)2], the CdII ion is six-coordinated by two cis-arranged bromide anions and four N atoms of two bidentate 2,2′-bipyridine ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. The dihedral angle formed by the mean planes through the bipyridine ligands is 87.01 (11)°. In the crystal packing, π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distances = 3.837 (6) and 3.867 (11) Å] link adjacent complex molecules into chains running parallel to the b axis. The chains are further connected by intermolecular C—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.

To a water solution of CdCl2. (0.27 g, 1.47 mmol) was added a 1M solution of Na2CO3.The CdCO3 precipitate was separated by filtration and washed with distilled water. The freshly prepared CdCO3, 2,2'-bipyridine (0.08 g, 0.51 mmol), 2-bromobenzoic acid (0.05 g, 0.24 mmol) in CH3OH/H2O (1:2 v/v; 15 ml) were mixed and stirred for 2 h. The resulting suspension was then heated in a 23 ml Teflon-lined stainless steel autoclave at 433 K for 5800 minutes. After cooling to room temperature, the solid formed was filtered off. The resulting filtrate was allowed to stand at room temperature, and evaporation for 4 months afforded red single crystals suitable for X-ray analysis.
H atoms on C atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).
In the course of our studies aimed at the synthesis of new cadmium(II) 2-bromobenzoato complexes, the title compound was obtained accidentally, 2-bromobenzoic acid acting as a source for bromide anions. Hereafter, the
of the unexpected product obtained is reported.The title compound is isostructural with the corresponding manganese(II) complex (Hwang & Ha, 2007). The cadmium(II) metal atom is is six-coordinated by two cis-arranged bromide anions and four N atoms of two bidentate 2,2'-bipyridine ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry (Fig. 1). The bipyridine ligands are not strictly planar the dihedral angle between adjacent pyridine rings being 7.59 (16) and 4.90 (18)°. The dihedral angle formed by the mean planes through the bipyridine ligands is 87.01 (11)°. In the crystal packing, complex molecules are linked into chains parallel to the b axis by π—π stacking interactions, with centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.837 (6) and 3.867 (11) Å (Fig. 2). The chains are further connected by intermolecular C—H···Br hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network (Table 1).

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds 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 > 2sigma(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. |

In the course of our studies aimed at the synthesis of new cadmium(II) 2-bromobenzoato complexes, the title compound was obtained accidentally, 2-bromobenzoic acid acting as a source for bromide anions. Hereafter, the crystal structure of the unexpected product obtained is reported.
The title compound is isostructural with the corresponding manganese(II) complex (Hwang & Ha, 2007). The cadmium(II) metal atom is is six-coordinated by two cis-arranged bromide anions and four N atoms of two bidentate 2,2'-bipyridine ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry (Fig. 1). The bipyridine ligands are not strictly planar the dihedral angle between adjacent pyridine rings being 7.59 (16) and 4.90 (18)°. The dihedral angle formed by the mean planes through the bipyridine ligands is 87.01 (11)°. In the crystal packing, complex molecules are linked into chains parallel to the b axis by π—π stacking interactions, with centroid-to-centroid distances of 3.837 (6) and 3.867 (11) Å (Fig. 2). The chains are further connected by intermolecular C—H···Br hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network (Table 1).
