The title compound, [Cd(C14H8O6S)(H2O)2]n, comprises zigzag chains parallel to [111] of alternating [Cd(H2O)2]2+ and sulfonyldibenzoate units, with the Cd and S atoms lying on crystallographic twofold axes. The central CdII ion is in a slightly distorted octahedral geometry, coordinated by six O atoms from two carboxylate groups and two water O atoms. An intramolecular C—H⋯O hydrogen bond occurs. In the crystal, intermolecular hydrogen bonds between carboxylate O atoms and coordinated water molecules in adjacent chains lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network structure. The compound is isotypic with the Zn analog.

The title compound, (I), was prepared by the hydrothermal reaction of Cd(NO3)2.6H2O (34.5 mg, 0.1 mmol), 4,4'-sulfonyldibenzoic (30 mg, 0.1 mmol), 1,4-Bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)butane (19.2 mg, 0.1 mmol), and NaOH (8.0 mg, 0.2 mmol) in H2O (10 ml) was sealed in a 16 ml Teflon-lined stainless steel container and heated at 180 °C for 72 h. After cooling to room temperature, block colorless crystals of (I) were collected by filtration and washed by water and ethanol several times. (yield 47.25%, based on Cd). Elemental analysis for C14H12CdO8S (Mr = 452.72): C 37.14, H 2.67; found: 43.61, H 2.69.
H atoms bonded to coordinated water oxygen atom were located in a difference Fourier map and fixed in the
with Uiso(H)=1.2Ueq(O). All C-bound H atoms were positioned in calculated positions and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93?(aromatic) and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).In recent years, much attention has been focused on the construction of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) not only because of their fascinating structures and topologies but also owing to their potential application in many fields such as magnetism, catalysis, nonlinear optics. (Eddaoudi, et al., 2001; Kitagawa et al., 2004; Ferey et al., 2005.). The main method to construct such complexes is to use multidentate organic ligands. The organic aromatic polycarboxylate ligands are an important family of multidentate ligands. The 4,4'-sulfonyldibenzoic acid has been widely used in the construction of metal organic frameworks because of two carboxylate functions and its structural flexibility.(Xiao et al., 2007; Wu et al., 2007; Miyazawa et al., 2009; Wang et al., 2009.) We report here the synthesis and
of the title compound (I) based on 4,4'-sulfonyldibenzoic acid which is isostructural to the reported compound by Pan et al., 2007.As shown in Fig. 1, the Cd centres in (I) are six-coordinate in a highly distorted octahedral geometry, involving four O atom donors of two 4,4'-sulfonyldibenzoic acid ligands and two coordinated water molecules, while the carboxylate group of 4,4'-sulfonyldibenzoic acid adopts µ2-η1:η1– chelating mode in this structure. The structure of (I) comprises zigzag chains of alternating [Cd(H2O)2]2+ and sulfonyldibenzoate unit, with their respective Cd and S atoms lying on crystallographic twofold axes. In the there are three hydrogen bonds, two O—H···O intermolecular and one C—H···O intramolecular interactions, lead to the formation of a three dimensional network structure. Fig 2, Table 1.

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 recent years, much attention has been focused on the construction of metal organic frameworks (MOFs) not only because of their fascinating structures and topologies but also owing to their potential application in many fields such as magnetism, catalysis, nonlinear optics. (Eddaoudi, et al., 2001; Kitagawa et al., 2004; Ferey et al., 2005.). The main method to construct such complexes is to use multidentate organic ligands. The organic aromatic polycarboxylate ligands are an important family of multidentate ligands. The 4,4'-sulfonyldibenzoic acid has been widely used in the construction of metal organic frameworks because of two carboxylate functions and its structural flexibility.(Xiao et al., 2007; Wu et al., 2007; Miyazawa et al., 2009; Wang et al., 2009.) We report here the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound (I) based on 4,4'-sulfonyldibenzoic acid which is isostructural to the reported compound by Pan et al., 2007.
As shown in Fig. 1, the Cd centres in (I) are six-coordinate in a highly distorted octahedral geometry, involving four O atom donors of two 4,4'-sulfonyldibenzoic acid ligands and two coordinated water molecules, while the carboxylate group of 4,4'-sulfonyldibenzoic acid adopts µ2-η1:η1– chelating mode in this structure. The structure of (I) comprises zigzag chains of alternating [Cd(H2O)2]2+ and sulfonyldibenzoate unit, with their respective Cd and S atoms lying on crystallographic twofold axes. In the crystal structure there are three hydrogen bonds, two O—H···O intermolecular and one C—H···O intramolecular interactions, lead to the formation of a three dimensional network structure.
