Di-μ-chloro-bis[(2-pyridinecarboxylato-N,O)(2-pyridinecarboxylic acid-N,O)cadmium(II)] ethanol solvate
Abstract
In the title compound, [Cd2Cl2(C6H4NO2)2(C6H5NO2)2]·C2H5OH, each Cd atom has a distorted octahedral coordination geometry defined by two N atoms of the pyridine rings, two O atoms of the carboxylate groups and two Cl atoms. Two bridging Cl atoms and an ethanol solvent molecule lie on mirror planes. Symmetrical hydrogen bonds link the carboxylate/carboxylic acid ligands of adjacent molecules.
