Characterization and crystal structure of cadmium(II) halide complexes with amino acids and their derivatives: VII. Crystal structures of aquadibromo(3-aminopropanoic acid)cadmium(II), dichloro(4-aminobutanoic acid)cadmium(II), diaquabis(aminohexanoic acid)cadmium(II) tetrachlorocadmium(II), and dibromo(azetidine-3-carboxylic acid)cadmium(II).

Seven cadmium complexes: [CdX2(Hapro)(H2O)n] (X: Cl(1), Br(2)), [CdX2(Hgaba)] (X: Cl(3), Br(4)), [Cd(Hahex)2(H2O)2][CdCl4] (5), and [CdX2(Haze-3)](H2O)n (X: Cl(6), Br(7)) have been prepared and investigated by means of IR and FT Raman spectra. The crystal and molecular structures of 2, 3, 5 and 7 were determined by a single-crystal X-ray diffraction method. In complex 2, the cadmium atom is in a distorted octahedral geometry, ligated by two carboxyl oxygen atoms of Hapro, a water molecule, and three bromine atoms; one is terminal and each of the other two is bridging two cadmium atoms to make a polymer.
