| Summary: | Spontaneous atmospheric CO<sub>2</sub> capture as carbonate anion occurred in the synthesis of a trinuclear Cd(II) complex with tris(2-aminoethyl)amine ligand. In reaction two types of compounds were obtained and structurally characterized by X-ray diffraction on a single crystal: initially [{Cd(tren)}<sub>3</sub>(tren)](ClO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>6</sub>·2H<sub>2</sub>O (<b>1</b>) and subsequently [{Cd(tren)}<sub>3</sub>(tren)][{Cd(tren)}<sub>3</sub>(µ<sub>3</sub>-ηCO<sub>3</sub>)](ClO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>10</sub> (<b>2</b>). The carbonate anion replaces partially the bridging tren molecule and coordinates in a µ<sub>3</sub> fashion. The luminescent properties of the compounds were investigated. |
