Dichlorido[3-dimethylamino-N-(2-pyridylmethylene)propylamine-κ3N,N′,N′′]cadmium(II)

Abstract

In the title mononuclear Cd(II) complex, [CdCl2(C11H17N3)], the Cd(II) atom is coordinated by two Cl atoms and three N atoms from the tridentate Schiff base ligand in a distorted square-pyramidal environment. The three N atoms and one Cl atom constitute the base of the pyramid, whereas the other Cl atom occupies the apical position.
