catena-Poly[[[diaqua-cadmium]-μ-2,2'-(1,2-phenyl-enedi-oxy)diacetato] mono-hydrate]
Abstract:
In the title coordination complex, {[Cd(C(10)H(8)O(6))(H(2)O)(2)]·H(2)O}(n) the Cd(II) atom is seven-coordinated in a distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal geometry, the penta-gonal plane comprising four O-atom donors from the 2,2'-(1,2-phenyl-enedi-oxy)diacetate chelate ligand together with a bridging carboxyl-ate O-atom donor, with the axial sites occupied by two water mol-ecules. The resulting helical chains extend along the b axis and are inter-connected by extensive O-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions, which also involve the water mol-ecule of solvation, giving a three-dimensional structure.
