Polyμ-aqua-diaqua(μ3-1H-benzimid­azole-5-carboxylato-κ3 N 3:OO′)(μ2-1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxylato-κ3 N 3:O:O′)-μ5-sulfato-μ4-sulfato-tri­cadmium

摘要

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cd3(C8H5N2O2)2(SO4)2(H2O)3]n, contains three Cd^II ions, two sulfate anions, two 1H-benzimidazole-5-carboxyl­ate (H2bic) ligands and three coordinated water mol­ecules. One Cd^II ion is six-coordinated and exhibits a distorted octa­hedral geometry, while the other two Cd^II ions are seven-coordinated, displaying a distorted penta­gonal–bipyramidal geometry. The Cd^II ions are bridged by two types of sulfate anions, producing inorganic chains along [100]. These chains are further connected by the H2bic ligands, leading to a three-dimensional framework. N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π–π inter­actions between the imidazole and benzene rings [centroid–centroid distances = 3.953 (2), 3.507 (2), 3.407 (2) and 3.561 (2) Å] further stabilize the crystal structure.
