Abstract

A single crystal structure determination of the complex (4,4′-bipyridinium)[CdBr4] n , [henceforth (I)], has been carried out. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c, with the following cell parameters: a = 16.119(3) Å, b = 13.206(3) Å, c = 7.2601(15) Å, β = 115.62°, V = 1393.5(6) Å3, with Z = 4 formula units. The polymeric anion forms an infinite zig-zag chain of edge-sharing octahedra along c, with a distorted octahedral stereochemistry around Cd. There are N–H···Br [Br2···N1 of 3.386(13) Å and Br1···N1 of 3.363(13) Å] and C–H···Br [Br2···C5 of 3.552(16) Å] hydrogen bonding interactions, tying the CdBr chains to the cations to form 2D-network. The resulting 2D-networks are further linked by aryl···aryl (π···π) interactions within the cationic chains leading to a 3D-network.

The polymeric anion consists of a zig–zag chain of distorted edge shared octahedra run along c axis. The protonated cation bridges the anion chains through N–H···Br and C–H···Br into a supramolecular array.
