Abstract
By carrying out a metathetic reaction between sodium succinate and CdCl 2 or CdBr 2 in an n-butanol-water mixture, two novel open-framework cadmium succinates, [Na 3 Cd 5 (C 4 H 4 O 4 ) 6 Cl], I, and [Na 3 Cd 5 (C 4 H 4 O 4 ) 6 Br], II, have been isolated. Both of these compounds possess interpenetrating three-dimensional open-framework structures wherein tetrahedral Cl(Br)Cd 4 O 24 clusters are connected by succinate linkages. The tetrahedral cluster itself is formed of four CdO 6 octahedra surrounding a halogen atom. The three-dimensional cadmium succinate framework incorporates sodium ions. Four sodiums surround the second nearest neighbor halogen atom, forming a Na 4 Cl(Br) tetrahedron.
