Bis(2-aminopyrazine-κN1)tetraaquacadmium(II) bis(perchlorate)–2-aminopyrazine (1/4)

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cd(C4H5N3)2(H2O)4](ClO4)2·4C4H5N3, the CdII atom (site symmetry overline{1}) is coordinated by two N-heterocycles and four water molecules, resulting in a distorted trans-CdN2O4 octahedral geometry for the metal. In the crystal, the cation, anion and free N-heterocycle molecules are linked by N—H...N, N—H...O, O—H...N and O—H...O hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
