Bis{4′-[(2,3,5,6,8,9,11,12-octahydro-1,4,7,10,13-benzopentaoxacyclopentadecin-15-yl)methoxy]-2,2′:6′,2′′-terpyridine}cadmium(II) bis(hexafluoridophosphate) trihydrate: a powder study

Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cd(C30H31N3O6)2](PF6)2·3H2O, contains one half-cation with the CdII center situated on a twofold rotational axis, one hexa­fluoridophosphate anion and two uncoordinated water mol­ecules, one of which is also situated on a twofold rotational axis. The cations are associated into columns along the a axis through π–π inter­actions between the pyridine and benzene rings, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.72 (5) Å. Inter­molecular O—H⋯O, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯F hydrogen bonds consolidate the crystal packing.
