(4-Chlorophenylsulfanyl)acetic acid was prepared by the nucleophilic reaction of chloroacetic acid and 4-chlorothiophenol under basic conditions. It was then oxidized using 30% aqueous hydrogen peroxide in acetic anhydride solution to produce 4-chlorophenylsulfinyl acetic acid. Cadmium nitrate hexahydrate (0.692 g, 2 mmol), 4,4'-bipyridine (0.312 g, 2 mmol) and 4-chlorophenylsulfinyl acetic acid (0.437 g, 2 mmol) were dissolved in water and the pH was adjusted to 6 with 0.01 M sodium hydroxide; colorless crystals separated from the filtered solution after several days.
H atoms bound to C atoms were placed in calculated positions and treated as riding on their parent atoms, with C—H = 0.93 Å (aromatic C) or C—H = 0.97 Å (methylene C), and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). Water H atoms were initially located in a difference Fourier map but they were treated as riding on their parent atoms with O—H = 0.85 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O).
The Flack parameter was refined from 1550 Friedel pairs.
Recently, we reported the crystal structure of diaquabis[(4-nitrophenylsulfinylacetato)(4,4'-bipyridine)zinc(II) (Hou et al. 2007a). We also reported that of diaquabis[(4-chlorophenylsulfinylacetato)(4,4'-bipyridine)cobalt(II) (Hou et al. 2007b); diaquabis[(4-chlorophenylsulfinylacetato)(4,4'-bipyridine)zinc(II) (Hou et al. 2007) and diaquabis[(4-chlorophenylsulfinylacetato)(4,4'-bipyridine)nickel(II) (Su et al. 2007); this paper reports the isostructural cadmium compound.
In the title compound the cadmium bis(4-chlorophenylsulfinylacetate) moiety is bridged by 4,4'-bipyridine into a linear chain (Fig. 1). The CdII atom shows an all trans octahedral coordination. The chains are connected into a three dimensional network via intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1), (Fig. 2).

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. |

Recently, we reported the crystal structure of diaquabis[(4-nitrophenylsulfinylacetato)(4,4'-bipyridine)zinc(II) (Hou et al. 2007a). We also reported that of diaquabis[(4-chlorophenylsulfinylacetato)(4,4'-bipyridine)cobalt(II) (Hou et al. 2007b); diaquabis[(4-chlorophenylsulfinylacetato)(4,4'-bipyridine)zinc(II) (Hou et al. 2007) and diaquabis[(4-chlorophenylsulfinylacetato)(4,4'-bipyridine)nickel(II) (Su et al. 2007); this paper reports the isostructural cadmium compound.
In the title compound the cadmium bis(4-chlorophenylsulfinylacetate) moiety is bridged by 4,4'-bipyridine into a linear chain (Fig. 1). The CdII atom shows an all trans octahedral coordination. The chains are connected into a three dimensional network via intermolecular O—H···O hydrogen bonds (Table 1), (Fig. 2).
