Synthesis, Characterization, and Crystal Structure of a New Supramolecular Cd Complex With Halogen-Substituted Salen-Type Bisoxime.

A new mononuclear CdIIcomplex, [CdL(H2O)2], with halogen-substituted Salen-type bisoxime ligand (H2L = 4,4′-dibromo- 6,6′-dichloro-2,2′-[ethylenedioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol), was synthesized and structurally characterized. The CdIIcomplex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space groupC2/c. The CdIIcenter exhibits a slightly distorted octahedral geometry with halogen-substituted Salen-type bisoxime ligand forming the basal N2O2coordination plane and two oxygen atoms from the coordinated water molecules in the axial position. An infinite 1D metal-water chain is formed by intermolecular hydrogen-bonding and π-π stacking interactions of neighboring benzene rings. Supplemental materials are available for this article.
