Abstract: One complex [Cd(4,4′-bipy)(2,4-Cl2C6H5OCH2COO)2]n has been synthesized by means of solvent method with 2,4-dichlorphenowyacetic acid and 4,4′-bipyridine(4,4′-bipy). It crystallizes in the Monoclinic space group C2/cn, with a=2.34 25(3) nm, b=1.181 00(15) nm, c=0.977 94(13) nm, β=96.819(2)°, V=2.686 3(6) nm3, Dc=1.752 g·cm-3, Z=4,F(000)=1 408. Final GooF=1.038, R1=0.023 8, wR2=0.060 4. The crystal structure shows that the cadmium ion is coordinated with four oxygen atoms from four 2,4-dichlorphenoxyacetic acid radical and two nitrogen atoms from two 4,4′-bipyridine molecules, forming a distorted octahedral coordination geometry. Bridging 2,4-dichlorphenoxyacetic acid groups and two cadmium(Ⅱ) ions form a cage structure in the complex, and the Cd(Ⅱ)… Cd(Ⅱ) distance is 0.491 3 nm. The luminescence property of the complex was also studied. CCDC: 707697. |
