Abstract:
In the title coordination polymer, {[CdI(2)(C(13)H(11)N(3))]·0.5CH(4)O}(n), each Cd(II) center is four-coordinated by two N-atom donors from two 1-(4-pyridylmeth-yl)-1H-benzimidazole (L) ligands and two iodide anions, forming a tetra-hedral coordination geometry. L ligands bridge adjacent Cd(II) ions, generating two crystallographically independent approximately orthogonal one-dimensional chains. The methanol solvent mol-ecule associates with one of the chains via O-H⋯I inter-actions.
