Abstract

The novel dinuclear cadmium(II) complex [Cd2(NIT-1′-MeBzIm)2(CH3COO)4] (I), where NIT-1′-MeBzIm = 2-{2′-[(1′-methyl)benzimidazolyl]}-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide, has been prepared and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The complex crystallizes in monoclinic crystal system, space group C2/c, Z = 4. Crystal data: C38H50Cd2N8O12, Mr = 1035.66, a = 18.6492(16), b = 11.9605(10), c = 19.9208(17) A, β = 92.1650(10)°. The X-ray analysis reveals that two Cd(II) atoms were bridged by two acetate groups to form a centrosymmetric Cd(II)-Cd(II) dinuclear entity, Cadmium atom is six-coordinated with a distorted octahedral geometry. The complex is linked by intermolecular hydrogen bonds leading to a 2D network configuration. Magnetic investigation indicates the existence of weak intramolecular interactions; i.e., the complex I is ferromagnetic with J = 1.97 cm−1.
