Crystal structure of bis{2-hydroxy-N′-[1-(pyrazin-2-yl)ethylidene]benzohydrazidato}cadmium(II)

Abstract

In the title complex molecule, [Cd(C13H11N4O2)2], the Cd atom is coordinated in a distorted octahedral geometry by two tridentate ligands synthesized from 2-hydroxybenzohydrazide and 1-(pyrazin-2-yl)ethan-1-one. The molecule has twofold crystallographic symmetry and is isomorphous to its Mn, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn counterparts.
