Bis(acetato-κO)bis-{2-[4-(pyridin-2-yl)phen-yl]-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline-κ2N,N′}cadmium(II)

摘要

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cd(CH 3 COO)(C 24 H 15 N 5 )], comprises one-half of the centrosymmetric mol-ecule. The Cd II ion, situated on a centre of inversion, is coordinated by two O atoms from two acetate ligands and four N atoms from two 2-[4-(pyridin-2-yl)phen-yl]-1 H -imidazo[4,5- f ][1,10]phenanthroline ( L ) ligands in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the L ligand, the terminal phenyl and pyridine rings are turned away from the mean plane of the imidazo[4,5- f ][1,10]phenanthroline fragment in opposite directions, at 11.1?(1) and 10.5?(1)°, respectively. In the crystal, N—H?O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules related by translation along the a axis into linear chains, and weak C—H?N inter-actions link these chains into layers parallel to the (011) plane.
