The asymmetric unit of the title complex, {[Cd(C9H7N3O6S3)(C12H8N2)]·0.42H2O}n, contains a CdII atom, one doubly deprotonated 2,2′,2′′-[1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triyltris(sulfanediyl)]triacetic acid ligand (HTTTA2−), a 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) ligand and a fractionally occupied water molecule [site occupancy = 0.421 (15)]. The CdII atom is six-coordinated within a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. Six coordination arises from four O atoms derived from three different HTTTA2− ligands, and two N atoms of the chelating phen molecule. The incompletely deprotonated triazine ligand adopts a μ3-η1:η1:η2 coordination mode, resulting in the formation of chains along the c axis based on Cd2O2 dimeric units. Adjacent chains are stacked through π–π stacking [3.533 (2) Å between phen and triazine rings] and C—H⋯O interactions, forming supramolecular sheets in the ab plane. Intra-and intermolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are also observed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
