Tetrakis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-κN2)(nitrato-κ2O,O′)cadmium(II) nitrate

Abstract

The title compound, [Cd(NO3)(C5H8N2)4]NO3, was prepared by reaction of cadmium nitrate and 3,5-dimethylpyrazole in ethanol solution. The Cd atom adopts a distorted cis-CdO2N4 octahedral geometry involving four dimethylpyrazole molecules and one bidentate nitrate anion. The molecular structure and packing are stabilized by N—H...O and C—H...O inter- and intramolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions.
