Synthesis and structure of <i>catena</i> -poly[[[bis(pyridin-2-yl)amine]cadmium(II)]-di-μ ₂ -azido]

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cd(N 3 ) 2 (C 10 H 9 N 3 )] n , the cadmium(II) ion displays a distorted CdN 6 octahedral geometry arising from one bidentate ligand and four azide ions and forms zigzag polymeric [100] chains via the bridging azide ions, both of which show μ 1,1 (end-on) coordination. Adjacent chains are linked into layers via N—H...N hydrogen bonds. Hirshfeld surface analysis was used to quantify the intermolecular interactions.
