Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a New 2D-Supramolecular Complex: [Cd(C17H13N2O2)2(C2H6O)2]

Abstract

The molecule of the cadmium(II) complex i.e., bis(l-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone)-bis(ethanol)cadmium(II), [Cd(C₁₇H₁₃N₂O₂)₂(C₂H₆O)₂], is rigorously centrosymmetric [symmetry codes: -x, -y, -z]. The Cd(II) center exhibits a slightly distorted octahedral geometry with two ligand units forming the basal O₂O₂ coordination plane and two other oxygen atoms from two coordinated ethanol molecules in the axial position. In the crystal structure, intermolecular O-H···N hydrogen bonds and C-H···p stacking interactions link the complex molecules into infinite 2D supramolecular structure.
