The title polymeric complex, [Cd(SCN)2(C12H12N2O)], exhibits a three-dimensional framework in which each CdII atom is bridged by two η-1,3-(SCN) groups, forming a double-stranded chain. The unique CdII atom lies on an inversion centre and the coordination sphere is completed by two terminal N atoms from two different 4,4′-oxy­dianiline (4,4′-Oda) ligands, furnishing a CdS2N4 octahedral geometry. Adjacent polymeric double-stranded chains are linked via the 4,4′-Oda ligands, which lie across twofold rotation axes.

Comment top

In the past two decades, polymeric Lewis base adducts of cadmium(II) thiocyanate, [Cd(SCN)2(L)2]n (where L is 2-, 3- or 4-methylpyridine, benzylamine, dibenzylamine, tri-m-tolyphosphine or 1H-1,2,4-triazole), exhibiting one-dimensional double-stranded chain structures comprising (–N—C—S—Cd)2 eight-membered rings in a chair conformation, have been documented (Ram et al., 1981; Taniguchi et al., 1987; Taniguchi & Ouchi, 1987). Recently, these one-dimensional chains have been linked into a two-dimensional hydrogen-bonded network by means of the bifunctional ligands imidazole and nicotinic acid (Chen et al., 1999; Yang et al., 2001). We report here the title covalent polymeric complex, [Cd(SCN)2(4,4'-Oda)]n, (I), where the organic ligand 4,4'-Oda (4,4'-Oda is 4,4'-oxydianiline) links the one-dimensional chains into a three-dimensional framework. \sch

In compound (I), the CdII ion is located at an inversion centre, and is octahedrally coordinated by a pair of S atoms from two (SCN)- groups, a pair of N atoms from another two (SCN)- groups and a pair of N atoms from two 4,4'-Oda organic ligands. Each pair of adjacent metal atoms is bridged by a pair of (SCN)- groups through opposite ends, resulting in a double-stranded chain comprising eight-membered (–N—C—S—Cd)2 rings in a chair conformation, with a Cd—Cd atom separation of 6.215 Å (Fig. 1). Within each unit cell, two such chains, related by the C-centring operation, run parallel to [110] at z = 1/2, and a further pair of chains, generated from the first pair by the twofold rotation axes, run parallel to [100] at z = 0.

As expected, adjacent double-stranded chains are linked by the 4,4'-Oda ligands, which lie across twofold rotation axes with a dihedral angle between the two aryl rings of 85.3 (3)°. This results in a three-dimensional framework, in which each double-stranded chain between adjacent layers runs towards the intercross direction, respectively *please explain*, with a Cd—Cd atom separation of 13.566 Å, as shown in Fig. 2. Each 4,4'-Oda ligand links one [110] chain to one [110] chain.

Experimental top

A hot ethanol-water (1:1 v/v) solution (5 ml) of 4,4'-oxydianiline (0.50 g, 2.5 mmol) was added to an aqueous solution (5 ml) of Cd(SCN)2 (0.57 g, 2.5 mmol). After vigorous stirring, the solution was adjusted to pH 5 by addition of dilute HNO3 and the resulting solution was allowed to evaporate at room temperature for 6 d, resulting in the formation of colourless crystals of (I) (yield 56%). IR data (ν, cm-1): 3329 (m), 3237 (s), 3149 (m), 3017 (w), 2869 (w), 2115 (versus), 1876 (w), 1590 (m), 1499 (s), 1211 (s), 1094 (w), 991 (s), 925 (w), 828 (w), 785 (m), 573 (m), 523 (m), 439 (w). Elemental analysis, found: C 39.5, H 2.9, N 12.9, S 14.9%; calculated for C14H12CdN4OS2: C 39.2, H 2.8, N 13.1, S 15.0%.

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.
