Anion-induced structural diversity in cadmium coordination polymers of 4-aminobenzonitrile: a structural and DFT study

Abstract

Using 4-Aminobenzonitrile (4-ABN) as ligand and different anions, five cadmium coordination polymers of the formulas [Cd(4-ABN)I2]n (1), [Cd(4-ABN)Br2]n (2), [Cd(4-ABN)2(NO3)2]n (3), [Cd(4-ABN)2(OAc)2]n (4) and {[Cd(4-ABN)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2}n (5) are synthesized and structurally...
