Tris(1,3-dimethylurea)diiodidocadmium(II)

Abstract

In the title compound, [CdI2(C3H8N2O)3], the Cd atom is five‐coordinated by O atoms of three monodentate dimethylurea ligands and two iodide ligands. The coordination polyhedron is a distorted trigonal bipyramid of molecular symmetry C2. Two dimethylurea ligands are involved in intermolecular N—H...O hydrogen bonds, whereas the third participates in N—H...I contacts.
