Abstract

A novel cadmium compound, [(CdI3)2(μ2-I)]2(Me2-4,4'-H2bipy)3 (1) (Me = methyl; 4,4'-bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine) with the Me2-4,4'-H2bipy moiety generated in situ, has been prepared through a solvothermal reaction and structurally characterized by X-ray single crystal diffraction analysis. Compound 1 is characterized by an isolated structural motif, consisting of [(CdI3)2(μ2-I)]3– anions and Me2-4,4'-H2bipy2+ cations. The [(CdI3)2(μ2-I)]3– anions and Me2-4,4'-H2bipy2+ cations interconnect together via C–H···I hydrogen-bonding interactions to complete a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular network. Solid state fluorescent spectrum reveals an emission band in the violet region.
