AI Article Synopsis
- The compound studied features a Cadmium (Cd(II)) ion bonded to two nitrogen atoms from a dimethyl-phenanthroline ligand and four oxygen atoms from two 2-methoxy-benzoate anions, creating a distorted octahedral structure.
- Two oxygen atoms from one of the benzoate ligands are disordered across two positions, affecting their occupancy in the crystal structure.
- The arrangement of molecules in the crystal is stabilized through hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions between the dmphen rings of adjacent molecules, leading to a two-dimensional network.
Article Abstract
In the title compound, [Cd(C(8)H(7)O(3))(2)(C(14)H(12)N(2))], the Cd(II) ion is coordinated by two N atoms from a 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline (dmphen) ligand and four O atoms from two 2-meth-oxy-benzoate anions in a distorted octa-hedral environment. Two O atoms of one bidentate 2-meth-oxy-benzoate ligand are each disordered over two positions, with site-occupancy factors of 0.579 (4) and 0.421 (4). In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked by C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, forming a two-dimensional network lieing parallel to the bc plane. The crystal packing is further stablized by π-π stacking inter-actions between the dmphen rings of neighboring mol-ecules, with distances between their parallel dmphen ring planes of 3.517 (3) and 3.610 (3) Å.
