Di-μ-chlorido-bis-[(2,2'-bibenzimidazole)chloridocadmium(II)].

ABSTRACT: The title binuclear complex, [Cd(2)Cl(4)(C(14)H(10)N(4))(2)], was synthesized by the hydro-thermal reaction of CdCl(2) and the ligand 2,2'-bibenzimidazole. The mol-ecule lies on an inversion center and the metal center displays a strongly distorted trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The Cd(II) ions are coordinated by two N atoms from the organic ligand, and by one terminal and two bridging chloride anions. The crystal structure involves inter-molecular N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, resulting in a one-dimensional supra-molecular structure.
