Heteromeric hydrogen bonded 2D supramolecule using heptacoordinated end-on azido bridged centrosymmetric dinuclear cadmium(II)Schiff base building block

A novel end-on azido bridged centrosymmetric heptacoordinated cadmium(II) dimmer [Cd(bpfd)(μ-1,1N3)(N3)]2 · 3H2O (1) (bpfd = N,N′-(bis(pyridin-2-yl)formylidene)ethane-1,2-diamine) has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The results show the heteromeric hydrogen-bonded 2D supramolecule that can be exploited to assemble the [Cd(bpfd)(μ-1,1N3)(N3)]2 dimeric building blocks and water of crystallization.
