Abstract: | The crystal structure of the complex H2B(pz)2]2Cd has been determined: orthorhombic, Pbca, A = 16.052(3), B = 13.935(3), C = 14.974(4) Å, V = 3349.4(13) Å3, Z = 8, R(F) = 3.61%. It is the first structurally characterized non-porphyrin CdN4 complex. It is monomeric in the solid state with a pseudotetrahedral geometry about the cadmium atom. The N---Cd---N angles are distorted by the approximate 93° bite angle of the ligand; the interligand N---Cd---N angles also are distorted, ranging from 106.9 to 131.7°. These distortions are the result of intermolecular packing forces and are facilitated by the spherical set of valence orbitals for Cd2+. |
