Description
Summary:In the title coordination polymer, {[CdI2(C13H11N3)]·0.5CH4O}n, each CdII center is four-coordinated by two N-atom donors from two 1-(4-pyridylmethyl)-1H-benzimidazole (L) ligands and two iodide anions, forming a tetrahedral coordination geometry. L ligands bridge adjacent CdII ions, generating two crystallographically independent approximately orthogonal one-dimensional chains. The methanol solvent molecule associates with one of the chains via O—H...I interactions.
