Abstract

In this paper, solution reaction of cadmium iodide with organic multifunctional ligand 1,4-bis(benzimidazole-1-yl-methylene)benzene generated a 1D polymer [CdI2 (bbmb). (DMF) (CH3CN)]n 1, and the crystal structure has been determined (C27H28CdI2N6O), Mr = 818.75, a  = 14.929(1) Å, b = 17.381(2) Å, c = 15.850(1) Å, β = 114.8190(10)°, space group C2/c, Z = 4, and V = 3733.3(6) Å3. In 1 the tetrahedral coordination of Cd(II) and the conformation of the bbmb ligand make it a wave-shaped structure.

Solution reaction of cadmium iodide with organic multifunctional ligand 1,4-bis(benzimidazole-1-yl-methylene)benzene (bbmb) generated a 1D polymer [CdI2 (bbmb) (DMF)(CH3CN)]n, in which the tetrahedral coordination of Cd(II) and the conformation of bbmb ligand make it a wave-shaped structure.
