Poly[bis(μ3-thiocyanato-κ3N:S:S′)(μ2-thiocyanato-κ2N:S)(4′-p-tolyl-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine-κ3N,N′,N′′)cadmium(II)silver(I)]

Abstract

The title compound, [AgCd(NCS)3(C22H17N3)]n, is a heteroatom ribbon coordination polymer. The central Cd atom is chelated by the 4′-p-tolyl-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine ligand and is coordinated by the N atoms of three thiocyanate ions in an octahedral geometry whereas the Ag atom is coordinated by the four S atoms of four thiocyanate ions in a distorted tetrahedral geometry. Of the three thiocyanate ions, one functions in a μ2-bridging mode and two in a μ3-bridging mode. The ribbon coordination polymer propagates along the a-axis.
