Bis(1,10-phenanthroline-κ²N,N′)(sulfato-κ²O,O′)cadmium(II) propane-1,3-diol solvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cd(SO4)(C12H8N2)2]·C3H8O2, the CdII atom has a distorted octa­hedral coordination composed of four N atoms from two chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligands and two O atoms from an O,O′-bidentate sulfate group. The two chelating NCCN groups subtend a dihedral angle of 82.21 (9)°. The CdII ion, the S atom and the middle C atom of the propane-1,3-diol solvent mol­ecule are located on special positions, site symmetry 2. The solvate features a pair of O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds with the uncoordinated O atoms of the sulfate ion. The OH group of the propane-1,3-diol solvent is disordered over two positions of equal occupancy.

Crystal structure of bis(1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N')(sulfato-κ2O,O')-copper(II)–propane-1,2-diol (1:1), Cu(C12H8N2)2(SO4) · C3H8O2

“…Many N-containing bidentate ligands, such as 1,10-phenanthroline, 4,4'-bipyridine and 2,2'-bipyridine as auxiliary ligand have been widely applied in constructing coordination polymers [6,7]. In the past few years, we have synthesized and reported some transition metal complexes with bidentate-chelating sulfate auxiliary ligand via aa lcohol-solvothermal reaction [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], the title compound was unexpectedly obtained during an attempt to synthesize ac omplex of Cu-complex with bidentatechelating sulfate ligand by the similar route. X-ray diffraction indicated that the Cu 2+ ions are in ad istorted square-pyramidal coordination formed by four Natoms (N1, N2, N3, N4) from two chelating phen ligands and an Oa tom (O3) from amonodentate sulfate ligand, the N1, N2, N3 and N4 atoms comprise asquare, and the O3 atom the apex of asquare pyramid.…”
