Abstract
The title compound, [Cd(C7H5O3)2(C10H8N2)2]·CH3OH, contains one monomeric seven-coordinate cadmium complex and one methanol solvate molecule. The CdII atom is coordinated to two 2,2′-bipyridyl ligands via the N atoms and to two salicylate anions (Hsal−) via the carboxylate O atoms, which act as monodentate ligand for the one and bidentate ligand for the second. The CdII atom exhibits a {6 + 1} environment, approximately described as a distorted capped octahedron with the apical positions occupied by one of the two N atoms belonging to one bipyridyl ligand and one of the two carboxylate O atoms from the monodentate Hsal− ligand. Two intramolecular six-membered hydrogen-bonded rings are present, generated from interactions between the carboxylate and hydroxy groups of the salicylate ligands. There is one intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interaction involving the methanol solvent molecule and the carboxylate group from the monodentate Hsal− ligand. The crystal packing is governed by π–π stacking interactions [centroid–centroid distance = 3.783 (4) Å] which occur between bipyridyl ligands, by C—H⋯O and C—H⋯π interactions and by numerous van der Waals contacts.
