Crystal structure of bis(μ-3-nitrobenzoato)-κ³O,O′:O;κ³O:O,O′-bis[bis(3-cyanopyridine-κN¹)(3-nitrobenzoato-κ²O,O′)cadmium]

Abstract

In the title cadmium complex of 3-nitro­benzoate and 3-cyano­pyridine, binuclear centrosymmetric mol­ecules are present, with cadmium being surrounded in an N2O5 coordinaton set in a distorted penta­gonal–bipyramidal shape.

Photoactive Hexaazaphenalene‐based Coordination Network as a Two‐Pathway Photosensitizer for Oxidation of Alkanes

“…The geometries of Cd(II) centers and the corresponding coordination modes of carboxylates in this cluster have not been commonly observed in previously reported structures (Figure 3a). [56,57] Two pyridyl groups from the neighboring TPHAP ligands (TPHAP1 and TPHAP2) were coordinated to Cd1 and Cd2 atoms perpendicular to the dimer plane, whereas the third pyridyl group from another ligand (TPHAP3) coordinated to the Cd2 atom in a parallel fashion. A single water molecule occupied the remaining equatorial position on the Cd1 atom.…”
