Poly[[aqua(1-naphthylacetato)cadmium(II)]-μ3-pyridin-3-olato]

Abstract

In the title complex, [Cd(C5H4NO)(C12H9O2)(H2O)]n, each CdII atom is coordinated by two carboxylate O atoms from one 1-naphthylacetate ligand, two hydroxyl O atoms from two pyridin-3-olate ligands, one N atom from another pyridin-3-olate ligand and one water molecule, and displays a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. The compound forms infinite chains of pyridin-3-olate ligands bridging 1-naphthylacetate–CdII units parallel to the b axis, with a Cd...Cd separation of 3.578 (2) Å. The chains are further self-assembled into a supramolecular network through intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions.
