catena-Poly[(dichloridocadmium)-di-μ-chlorido-[bis(morpholinium-κO)cadmium]-di-μ-chlorido]

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cd2Cl6(C4H10NO)2]n, the coordination geometry of each CdII ion is distorted octahedral, but with quite different coordination environments. One CdII atom is coordinated by four Cl atoms and two O atoms from two morpholinium ligands, while the other is coordinated by six Cl atoms. Adjacent CdII atoms are interconnected alternately by paired chloride bridges, generating a chain parallel to the a axis. Interchain N—H...Cl interactions form a two-dimensional network.
