One‐dimensional Cadmium(II) Coordination Polymers: Syntheses and Crystal Structures of [Cd(H₂O)₃(C₅H₆O₄)]·2H₂O, Cd(H₂O)₂(C₆H₈O₄), and Cd(H₂O)₂(C₈H₁₂O₄)

Abstract

Abstract [Cd(H 2 O) 3 (C 5 H 6 O 4 )]·2H 2 O ( 1 ) and Cd(H 2 O) 2 (C 6 H 8 O 4 ) ( 2 ) were prepared from reactions of fresh CdCO 3 precipitate with aqueous solutions of glutaric acid and adipic acid, respectively, while Cd(H 2 O) 2 (C 8 H 12 O 4 ) ( 3 ) crystallized in a filtrate obtained from the hydrothermal reaction of CdCl 2 ·2.5H 2 O, suberic acid and H 2 O. Compound 1 consists of hydrogen bonded water molecules and linear {[Cd(H 2 O) 3 ](C 5 H 6 O 4 ) 2/2 } chains, which result from the pentagonal bipyramidally coordinated Cd atoms bridged by bis‐chelating glutarato ligands. In 2 and 3 , the six‐coordinate Cd atoms are bridged by bis‐chelating adipato and suberato ligands into zigzag chains according to {[Cd(H 2 O) 3 ](C 5 H 6 O 4 ) 2/2 } and {[Cd(H 2 O) 2 ](C 8 H 12 O 4 ) 2/2 }, respectively. The hydrogen bonds between water and the carboxylate oxygen atoms are responsible for the supramolecular assemblies of the zigzag chains into 3D networks.
