Di-μ-iodido-bis{[hydroxy(methoxy)bis(2-pyridyl)methane-κ3 N,O,N′]iodidocadmium(II)}

摘要

In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title compound, [Cd2I4(C12H12N2O2)2], two μ-I atoms bridge two CdII atoms and each CdII atom is also bonded to a terminal I atom and a hy­droxy-meth­oxy-bis­(2-pyrid­yl)methane ligand, which functions in an N,O,N′-tridentate mode, resulting in a distorted octa­hedral coordination environment. Inter­molecular O—H⋯I hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking inter­actions between the pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.790 (2) Å] are present in the crystal structure.
