Catena-Poly[[(dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine)cadmium(II)]-μ-biphenyl-2,2′-dicarboxylato

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cd(C14H8O4)(C18H10N4)]n, the CdII atom is coordinated by four O atoms from two different biphenyl-2,2′-dicarboxyl­ate (bdc) dianions and two N atoms from the bidentate dipyrido[3,2-a:2′,3′-c]phenazine (L) ligand, resulting in a very distorted cis-CdN2O4 octa­hedral geometry. The CdII ions are bridged by the bdc ligands to form a one-dimensional chain structure. Neighboring chains inter­act through π–π inter­actions [centroid-to-centroid separation = 3.496 (3) Å], resulting in a two-dimensional supra­molecular network.
