Di-μ-Acesulfamato-κN,O:O;κO:N,O-bis­[(Acesulfamato-κN,O)bis­(3-Methyl­pyridine)cadmium(II)]

Abstract

In the structure of the title compound, [Cd<inf>2</inf>(C<inf>4</inf>H <inf>4</inf>NO<inf>4</inf>S)<inf>2-</inf>(C<inf>6</inf>H<inf>7</inf>N) <inf>2</inf>], the dinuclear CdII complex is located on a twofold axis with two Cd2+ ions bridged by two oxide O atoms. Each Cd 2+ ion is additionally coordinated in an equatorial plane by two N and three O atoms of the acesulfamate ligands and axially by two N atoms of the 3-methyl-pyridine ligands, resulting in a distorted penta-gonal bipyramidal coordination. We present here an example of a supra-molecular assembly based on hydrogen bonds in a mixed-ligand metal complex; intermolecular C - H⋯O hydrogen bonds give rise to R4<inf>4</inf>(40) rings, which lead to one-dimensional chains. © 2009 International Union of Crystallography.
