Catena-Poly[[bis(dimethylammonium) [cadmate(II)-bis(μ-1,1′: 4′,1″-terphenyl- 3,3″-dicarboxylato)]] dimethylformamide disolvate]

Abstract

In the title compound, {(C2H8N)2[Cd(C 20H12O4)2]·- 2C 3H7NO}n, the CdII ion lies on a twofold rotation axis and is in a distorted octahedral CdO6 environment, defined by four O atoms of two μ2-coordinated 1,1′:4′,1″-terphenyl-3, 3″- dicarboxylate (DCT) ligands and two O atoms of two μ1- coordinated DCT ligands. Both types of DCT ligands act as bridging, forming a one-dimensional polymeric structure propagating parallel to [101̄].
