Abstract:
In the title complex, [Cd(C(14)H(9)N(5))(NO(3))(H(2)O)(2)]NO(3), the Cd(II) ion is coordinated in a distorted penta-gonal-bipyramidal geometry. The equatorial sites are occupied by a 2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline ligand in a tridentate coordination mode and a bis-chelating nitrate ligand. Two aqua ligands are coordinated at the axial sites. All non-H atoms in the equatorial plane are co-planar within 0.0673 Å. In the crystal, inter-molecular O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds connect the components into a two-dimensional network parallel to (001). In addition, there is a π-π stacking inter-action between symmetry-related benzene rings, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.598 (3) Å.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
