Abstract :
The new title one-dimensional CdII coordination polymer, [Cd(C10H10N2)2(μ1,3-N3)2]n, has been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The asymmetric unit consists of a CdII ion, one azide and one 1-benzylimidazole (bzi) ligand. The CdII ion is located on an inversion centre and is surrounded in a distorted octahedral coordination sphere by six N atoms from four symmetry-related azide ligands and two symmetry-related bzi ligands. The CdII ions are linked by double azide bridging ligands within a μ1,3-N3 end-to-end (EE) coordination mode, leading to a one-dimensional linear structure extending parallel to [100]. The supramolecular framework is stabilized by the presence of weak C—H⋯N interactions, π–π stacking [centroid-to-centroid distance of 3.832 (2) Å] and C—H⋯π interactions between neighbouring chains.
