Abstract

A novel di-μ-chloro-bis[chloro(4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline)cadmium(II)] dimer complex has been prepared by reacting CdCl2·2.5H2O with 4,7-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmphen) ligand. The complex was characterized on the basis of elemental analysis, FAB-MS, IR, UV–visible, 1H, and 13C NMR spectroscopy, TG/DTA, and X-ray single-crystal diffraction studies. The Cd(II) ions in [CdCl2(C14H12N2)]2 are coordinated to three Cl atoms with the centrosymmetric dimer bridged through the Cl atoms and two N atoms in a slightly distorted square-pyramidal disposition. Several hydrogen bonds formed between the terminal Cl atoms and H-Me/H-Ph groups may stabilize the structure in the dimer form.
