In the title mononuclear complex, [Cd(C14H10NO3)2(CH3OH)4], the Cd2+ cation is situated on an inversion centre. It exhibits a distorted octahedral coordination, defined by two carboxylate O atoms from two monodentate anions and by four O atoms from four methanol molecules. The comprises intramolecular O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N, and intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The latter help to construct a layered structure extending parallel to (100).

N-(4-carboxyphenyl)salicylideneimine (0.04 mmol, 0.0097 g) in methanol (6 ml) was added dropwise to a methanol solution (5 ml) of CdCl2 (0.02 mmol, 0.0037 g) in methanol. The resulting solution was allowed to stand at room temperature. After two weeks good quality crystals with pale yellow colour were obtained and were dried in air.
H atoms bound to C atoms were generated geometrically and refined as riding atoms with C—H = 0.93Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2×Ueq(C). H atoms bound to O atoms were found from difference maps and refined with distance restraints between 0.82—0.87 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.5×Ueq(O).

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. |

Schiff base ligands played an important role in the development of coordination chemistry due to their metal binding ability (Garnovskii et al., 1993). Schiff bases and their metal complexes have numerous applications in biological systems and material sciences (Banerjee et al., 2004; Zhong et al., 2009). The Cd2+ ion is a good model atom to construct complexes owing to its property to form bonds with different types of donors simultaneously, and to its various coordination modes (Meng et al., 2004; Wang et al., 2010). In this work, we describe the synthesis and structure of the title complex, [Cd(C14H10NO3)2(CH3OH)4], (I).
In complex (I), the Cd2+ ion is situated on an inversion centre and is six-coordinated by two carboxylate O atoms from two monodentate ligands and by four O atoms from four methanol molecules (Fig. 1). The dihedral angle between the phenyl ring and the benzylidenimino moiety is 23.4 (4) °.
The crystal structure of (I) comprises intramolecular O—H···O and O—H···N hydrogen bonds that help to stabilize the molecular conformation. Intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds between methanol molecules and the free carboxylate O atoms of neighbouring molecules construct a layered structure extending parallel to (100), as shown in Fig. 2.
