Di-μ-iodido-bis{[hydroxy(methoxy)bis(2-pyridyl)methane-κ3N,O,N′]iodidocadmium(II)}

In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title compound, [Cd2I4(C12H12N2O2)2], two μ-I atoms bridge two CdII atoms and each CdII atom is also bonded to a terminal I atom and a hydroxy-methoxy-bis(2-pyridyl)methane ligand, which functions in an N,O,N′-tridentate mode, resulting in...

Description
Summary:In the centrosymmetric dinuclear title compound, [Cd2I4(C12H12N2O2)2], two μ-I atoms bridge two CdII atoms and each CdII atom is also bonded to a terminal I atom and a hydroxy-methoxy-bis(2-pyridyl)methane ligand, which functions in an N,O,N′-tridentate mode, resulting in a distorted octahedral coordination environment. Intermolecular O—H...I hydrogen bonds and π–π stacking interactions between the pyridine rings [centroid–centroid distance = 3.790 (2) Å] are present in the crystal structure.
