Catena-Poly[[(5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bi-pyridine-κN,N')cadmium(II)]-di-μ-iodido].

ABSTRACT: In the title coordination polymer, [CdI(2)(C(12)H(12)N(2))](n), the Cd(2+) ion lies on a twofold rotation axis: it is six-coordinated in a distorted cis-CdN(2)I(4) octa-hedral geometry by two N atoms from a chelating 5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligands and four bridging iodide anions. The bridging function of the iodide ions leads to a chain structure propagating in [001].
