Dichloridobis[2-(2-furyl)-1-(2-furylmethyl)-1H-benzimidazole-κN3]cadmium(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [CdCl2(C16H12N2O2)2], the CdII ion exhibits site symmetry 2. It shows a distorted tetrahedral coordination defined by two N atoms from symmetry-related 2-(2-furyl)-1-(2-furylmethyl)-1H-benzimidazole ligands and by two symmetry-related Cl atoms. Intramolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds stabilize the molecular configuration. Adjacent molecules are linked through C—H...Cl hydrogen bonds into a network structure.
