(Received 11 November 2012; accepted 12 November 2012; online 17 November 2012)

In the crystal of the title polymeric compound, [CdBr2(C12H12N2)]n, the CdII cation is located on a twofold rotation axis and is six-coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral geometry formed by two N atoms from the 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligand and by four bridging Br anions. The bridging function of the Br anions leads to a polymeric chain running along the c axis. Weak C—H⋯π inter­actions observed between adjacent chains are effective in the stabilization of the three-dimensional packing.

Comment top

Recently, we reported the synthes and crystal structure of [CdBr2(4,4'-dmbpy)(DMSO)], (Shirvan & Haydari Dezfuli, 2012) [where 4,4'-dmbpy is 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine and DMSO is dimethyl sulfoxide]. 4,4'-Dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine is a good bidentate ligand, and numerous complexes with 4,4'-dmbipy have been prepared, such as that of mercury (Kalateh et al., 2008; Yousefi et al., 2008), indium (Ahmadi et al., 2008), iron (Amani et al., 2009), platin (Hojjat Kashani et al., 2008), silver (Bellusci et al., 2008), gallium (Sofetis et al., 2006), copper (Willett et al., 2001), cadmium (Kalateh et al., 2010) and zinc (Alizadeh et al., 2010). Here, we report the synthesis and structure of the title compound.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, (Fig. 1), contains half-molecule; a twofold rotation axis passes through the Cd atom. The CdII cation is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry formed by two N atoms from the 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand and four bridging Br- anions. The bridging function of the Br- anions leads to a polymeric chain running along the b axis. The Cd—N and Cd—Br bond lengths and angles (Table 1) are within normal range [Cd(phen)(µ-Br)2]n, (Zhang, 2007) and [Cd(bipy)(µ-Br)2]n, (Han et al., 2006) [where phen is 1,10-phenanthroline and bipy is 2,2'-bipyridine].

Experimental top

For the preparation of the title compound, a solution of 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine (0.25 g, 1.33 mmol) in methanol (10 ml) was added to a solution of CdBr2.4H2O, (0.46 g, 1.33 mmol) in methanol (5 ml) at room temperature. The suitable crystals for X-ray diffraction experiment were obtained by methanol diffusion to a colorless solution in dimethylformamide. Suitable crystals were isolated after one week (yield; 0.45 g, 74.1%).

Refinement top

H atoms were positioned geometrically with C—H = 0.93–0.96 Å and constrained to ride on their parent atoms, Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Special details top

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.
