Abstract
Synthesis, crystal structure and spectroscopic characterization of the new Cd(II) complex with the bidentate ligand 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-dipyridine (DMDPy), [CdI2(DMDPy)2], is reported. The cadmium cation is hexa-coordinated in a distorted octahedral configuration by four nitrogen atoms of two DMDPy ligands and two iodide anions. In the structural arrangement of the title compound, the different chemical entities are arranged in planes around z = n¼. Intermolecular interactions were investigated by Hirshfeld surface and contact enrichment tools. Mulliken charge distribution, molecular electrostatic potential (MEP) maps and HOMO/LUMO energy gaps were computed. Infrared spectroscopy was used to verify the functional groups present in the compound and to study their vibrational behavior in the crystalline state.
