Characterization and crystal structure of cadmium(II) halide complexes with amino acids and their derivatives: VII. Crystal structures of aquadibromo(3-aminopropanoic acid)cadmium(II), dichloro(4-aminobutanoic acid)cadmium(II), diaquabis(aminohexanoic acid)cadmium(II) tetrachlorocadmium(II), and dibromo(azetidine-3-carboxylic acid)cadmium(II)

Abstract

Seven cadmium complexes: [CdX2(Hapro)(H2O)n] (X: Cl(1), Br(2)), [CdX2(Hgaba)] (X: Cl(3), Br(4)), [Cd(Hahex)2(H2O)2][CdCl4] (5), and [CdX2(Haze-3)](H2O)n (X: Cl(6), Br(7)) have been prepared and investigated by means of IR and FT Raman spectra. The crystal and molecular structures of 2, 3, 5 and 7 were determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. In complex 2, the cadmium atom is in a distorted octahedral geometry, ligated by two carboxyl oxygen atoms of Hapro, a water molecule, and three bromine atoms; one is terminal and each of the other two is bridging two cadmium atoms to make a polymer. The structure of 3 consists of one-dimensional polymers bridged by two chlorine atoms and a carboxyl group. The carboxyl oxygen atoms of Hgaba coordinate forkedly to two cadmium atoms. The cadmium atom of [Cd(Hahex)2(H2O)2]2+ in complex 5 is in a distorted octahedral geometry, ligated by four carboxyl oxygen atoms of two molecules of Hahex and by two water molecules. [Cd(Hahex)2(H2O)2]2+ exists between two layers which are formed of infinite [CdCl4]2- chains. The carboxyl oxygen atoms of Hahex coordinate to the same cadmium atom. In complex 7, the cadmium atom is ligated by two carboxyl oxygen atoms and four bridging bromine atoms to make a polymer.
