catena-Poly[[diaqua[(4-tolylsulfanyl)acetato-κO]cadmium(II)]-μ-4,4′-bipyridine-κ2N:N′]

Abstract

The title complex, [Cd(C9H9O2S)2(C10H8N2)(H2O)2]n, has a linear chain structure. The central CdII ion is in a slightly disorted octahedral environment, coordinated by two aqua ligands, two (4-tolylsulfanyl)acetate ligands and two bridging 4,4′-bipyridine ligands. The CdII ion lies on a twofold rotation axis. Intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen bonds connect adjacent chains, forming a layer structure. An intramolecular O—H...O hydrogen bond is also present.
