[μ-2,2,4,4,6,6-Hexakis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)-2λ5,4λ5,6λ5-1,3,5,2,4,6-triazatriphosphinine]bis[bis(nitrato- κ2O,O′)cadmium(II)]
Abstract
The complete title complex, [Cd2(NO3)4(C30H42N15P3)], is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry, with one P and one N atom of the cyclotriphosphazene ligand located on the rotation axis. The non-planar cyclotriphosphazene ring accommodates two Cd ions, and only four out of six exocylcic pyrazolyl ligands are bound to the Cd metal atoms. Each of these two symmetry-related Cd atoms is coordinated by two bidentate nitrato ligands, two exocylic pyrazolyl N atoms, and one cyclotriphosphazene N atom.
