“…Recently, we reported the synthes and crystal structure of [Cd(5,5′-dmbpy)(µ-Br) 2 ] n , (Shirvan & Haydari Dezfuli, 2012) [where 5,5′-dmbpy is 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine]. 5,5′-Dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine is a good bidentate ligand, and numerous complexes with 5,5′-dmbipy have been prepared, such as that of zinc (Khalighi et al, 2008), indium (Kalateh et al, 2008), iron (Amani et al, 2007), platin (Amani et al, 2009), copper (Albada et al, 2004) and mercury (Tadayon Pour et al, 2008;Alizadeh et al, 2010). Here, we report the synthesis and structure of the title compound.…”
