Description
Summary:In the title cadmium(II) complex, [Cd(C8H4O 5)(C14H14N4)(H2O)] n, the 5-hy-droxy-benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl-ate (5-OH-1,3-bdc) and 1,4-bis-(imidazol-1-ylmeth-yl)benzene (1,4,-bix) lig-ands bridge water-coordinated CdII atoms to generate a three-dimensional network. Two carboxyl-ate groups from different ligands function as O,O′-chelates, while two imidazole N atoms from different ligands coordinate in a monodentate fashion, and one water mol-ecule completes the seven-coordinate penta-gonal bipyramid around the CdII atom, in which the N atoms occupy the axial sites and the O atoms occupy the equatorial sites. The overall architecture is a twofold inter-penetrated CdSO4-type framework. The two crystallographically equivalent frameworks are linked by O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the water, hy-droxy and carboxyl-ate groups. © 2011 International Union of Crystallography.
