Crystal structure and photoluminescence properties of catena-poly[[bis-(1-benzyl-1H-imidazole-κN 3)cadmium(II)]-di-μ-azido-κ4 N 1:N 3].

ABSTRACT: The new title one-dimensional CdII coordination polymer, [Cd(C10H10N2)2(μ1,3-N3)2] n , has been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The asymmetric unit consists of a CdII ion, one azide and one 1-benzyl-imidazole (bzi) ligand. The CdII ion is located on an inversion centre and is surrounded in a distorted octa-hedral coordination sphere by six N atoms from four symmetry-related azide ligands and two symmetry-related bzi ligands. The CdII ions are linked by double azide bridging ligands within a μ1,3-N3 end-to-end (EE) coordination mode, leading to a one-dimensional linear structure extending parallel to [100]. The supra-molecular framework is stabilized by the presence of weak C-H⋯N inter-actions, π-π stacking [centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.
