Abstract
Two mixed-ligand cadmium(II) complexes have been synthesized from the reaction of 3-triphenyl- phosphoniopropanoate, Ph3P+ (CH2)2CO2¯, and Me2N(CH2)2NMe2 (abbreviated as tmen) with Cd(ClO4)2.x H2O and CdI2, and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis: [Cd { Ph3P(CH2)2CO2 } 2(tmen)(H2O)] (ClO4)2.2H2O (1), space group P -1 with a 13·461(5), b 13·694(5), c 18·229(4) Å, α 92·34(2), β 110·51(2), γ 117·44(2)° and Z 2; [CdI2 { Ph3P(CH2)2CO2 } (tmen)] (2), space group P 21/c with a 16·768(6), b 11·741(3), c 16·915(5) Å, β 112·28(2)° and Z 4. In complex (1), the cadmium(II) atom is in a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal environment with two chelated betaine ligands and one nitrogen atom of the chelated tmen ligand defining the equatorial plane, and an aqua ligand and the other tmen nitrogen atom occupying the axial positions. One of the betaine ligands acts in the symmetric and the other in the asymmetric chelate mode. In complex (2), the distorted octahedral coordination environment about the cadmium(II) atom involves a chelated tmen ligand, an asymmetrically chelated betaine ligand, and two cis-related iodo ligands.
