The title compound [Cd(C8H11N2O3S)2]n, is a two-dimensional coordination polymer based on a Cd2+ atom and deprotonated 2-(2-pyridylmethylamino)ethanesulfonic acid (Hpmt). The complex has molecular symmetry Ci as a consequence of the CdII being located on an inversion centre. Two N atoms of each pmt− ligand coordinate to the Cd2+ ion and its sulfonate O atom bonds to an adjacent Cd2+ ion. 24-membered (–Cd—N—C—C—S—O–)4 rings are formed between neighbouring Cd2+ ions; these are interconnected, forming a two-dimensional layer structure. In respect to stereogenic amino N atom and the inversion symmetry of the complex, the compound is a 1:1 racemate. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and further connected by π–π stacking interactions between the pyridyl rings [average interplanar distance and centroid–centroid separation = 3.582 (1) and 3.634 (1)Å, respectively], forming a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.

The ligand Hpmt was prepared according to the method of Li et al., 2006. A water solution (5 ml) of ligand Hpmt (2 mmol, 0.432 g) was added dropwise to a solution of CdCl2. 2.5H2O (0.228 g, 1.0 mmol) in methanol (8 ml), then the obtained mixture was stirred at 333 K for 3 h. After that, the mixture was basified with KOH (1 mol/l) to a pH of 7.5–8.0 and continued stirring for another 4 h, filtrated. Two weeks later, colourless claviform crystals were grown from the filtrate by slow evaporation. Analysis, found: C 35.40, H 4.02, N 10.36, S 11.36%; C16H22CdN4O6S2 requires: C 35.36, H 4.05, N 10.31, S 11.42%.

H atoms bonded to C were positioned geometrically with C—H distance of 0.93–0.97 Å, and treated as riding atoms, with Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(C). The N—H hydrogen atom was located in a difference Fourier map and refined isotropically.

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. |

In the previous literatures, several complexes derived from Hpmt have been reported. Among them, pmt- ligand displays different coordination modes, such as tridentate chelate (Du & Zhang, 2009; Li et al., 2006, 2008a; Liao et al., 2007), µ2 bridge(Li et al., 2007a, 2008b) and µ3 bridge (Li et al., 2007b). In this paper, we describe another new complex of pmt-, (I), Figure 1.
Compound 1 is a two-dimensional coordination polymer and the repeating unit comprises one Cd2+ ion and two pmt- ligands(Fig. 1, Table 1). Cd2+ ion situates on a centre of symmetry and is six-coordinated with four N atoms from two pmt- ligands along with two sulfonate O atoms belonging to another two ligands, showing a distorted octahedral geometry (Table 1). The four N atoms from two pmt- ligands define the equatorial plane with the Cd centre located in the plane, and two O atoms are at the axial positions with O2A—Cd1—O2B angle of just 180°[Symmetry codes: (A)1 - x, -1/2 + y, 0.5 - z; (B)x, 0.5 - y, -1/2 + z]. Each pmt- plays as a µ2 bridge to connect two Cd2+ ions and each Cd2+ ion links four pmt- ligands, forming an infinite two-dimensional layer structure with (4, 4) topology (Figure 2). The network is based on (Cd(pmt))4 rhombus, a 24-membered metal-ligand ring (–Cd—N—C—C—S—O–)4 formed by four pmt- and four quadruply connected Cd2+ ions. The edge Cd···Cd distance of the rhombus is 8.048 (3)Å and the Cd···Cd separations through the diagonal of the rhombus are 7.904 (2)Å and 14.021 (1) Å, respectively (Figure 2).
The two-dimensional layer is stabilized by intermolecular N—H···O hydrogen bonds (Figure 3 & Table 2). The interlayers are further connected by π-π stacking interactions of parallel pyridine rings of adjacent layers. The interplanar average distance and ringcentroid separation distance are 3.582 (1)Å and 3.634 (1) Å, respectively. Thus, the three-dimensional supramolecular architecture of (I) is formed (Figure 4).
