Description
Summary:In the binuclear title compound, [Cd2(C2H3O2)4(C12H7N3O2)2], the CdII cations are linked by carboxylate O atoms into a four-membered Cd2O2 rhombic ring with a Cd... Cd separation of 3.7515 (5) Å. Each CdII atom is seven-coordinated by a bidentate 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (5-NO2-phen) ligand and two bidentate acetate anions, one of which also acts as a bridge linking the two Cd atoms. The crystal packing is stabilized by π–π interactions between the phen rings of neighboring molecules, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.491 (2) (intramolecular) and 3.598 (2) Å (intermolecular).
