Abstract
A new cadmium-biimidazole compound, [Cd(2,2′-biimidazole)2(ClO4)]nnOH·2nH2O (1), has been obtained via solvothermal reactions and structurally characterized by X-ray single-crystal diffraction. Compound 1 crystallizes in the space group P21/c of the monoclinic system with four formula units in a cell: a = 6.8785(11), b = 17.938(3), c = 14.985(2) Å, β = 91.589(2)°, V = 1848.3(5) Å3, C12H17CdClN8O7, Mr = 533.19, Dc = 1.916 g/cm3, S = 1.048, μ(MoKα) = 1.383 mm−1, F(000) = 1064, R = 0.0326, and wR = 0.0900. Compound 1 is characteristic of an infinite one-dimensional chain-like structure.
