Abstract
In the title compound, [CdI2(C12H12N2)(C3H7NO)], the CdII cation is five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal configuration by two N atoms from a 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine ligand, one O atom from a dimethylformamide ligand and two I− anions. π–π stacking between pyridine rings of adjacent molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.666 (3) and 3.709 (4) Å] stabilizes the three-dimensional structure
Highlights
In the title compound, [CdI2(C12H12N2)(C3H7NO)], the CdII cation is five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal–bipyramidal configuration by two N atoms from a 4,40 -dimethyl-2,20 bipyridine ligand, one O atom from a dimethylformamide ligand and two I anions. – stacking between pyridine rings of adjacent molecules [centroid–centroid distance = 3.666 (3)
The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry
The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2
Summary
R factor = 0.040; wR factor = 0.084; data-to-parameter ratio = 19.6.
