Catena-Poly[bis-(sulfamethoxazolium) [[trichloridocadmate(II)]-μ-chlorido] monohydrate].

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, {(C(10)H(12)N(3)O(3)S)(2)[CdCl(4)]·H(2)O}(n), the Cd(II) atom is five-coordinate with a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry formed by chloride ions. The Cd atom and two of the Cl atoms lie on a mirror plane. The cation is protonated on the amino group N atom; it is not coordinated to cadmium, but is hydrogen bonded to the chlorido ligands. Each water mol-ecule bridges two chlorido ligands, generating ring motifs along the -Cd-Cl-Cd- chains. The isoxazole unit and the amide groups are linked through a pair of N-H⋯N hydrogen bonds. The crystal structure is stabilized by N-H⋯O, O-H⋯Cl, C-H⋯N, N-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds.
