Bis(7-amino-2,4-dimethyl-1,8-naphthyridine)dinitratocadmium(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cd(NO3)2(C10H11N3)2], two naphthyridine ring systems are coordinated to the Cd ion through the two N atoms in a bidentate chelating mode, whereas the remaining coordination sites are occupied by two O atoms from two different nitrate groups to complete the octahedral geometry. Intermoleular N—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules to form a one-dimensionnal sheet parallel to the ac plane. Weak slipped π–π stacking involving the naphthyridine ring systems stabilizes the structure.
