Figure 5
Molecular structures of (a) 2, [Cd(L)I]2(Cd2I6)·4CH3CN, and (b) 3, [Cd2(L)2I2](Cd2I6), isolated from the dissolution–recrystallization process involving the loss of lattice solvent molecules from 2 (acetonitrile, not shown) in solution. The anionic (Cd2I6)2− clusters in both products have been omitted. The distances between Cd1 and I1A are 3.5768(8) Å (red arrow) in 2 and 3.3827(8) Å (dashed lines) in 3. |
