The asymmetric unit of the title CdII compound, [Cd(N3)2(C12H8N2)]n, contains a CdII atom, located on a twofold axis passing through the middle of the phenanthroline mol­ecule, one azide ion and half of a 1,10-phenanthroline mol­ecule. The CdII atom exhibits a distorted octa­hedral coordin­ation including one chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and four azide ligands. The crystal structure features chains along the c direction in which azide groups doubly bridge two adjacent CdII atoms in an end-on (EO) mode. Inter­chain ππ stacking inter­actions, with centroid–centroid separations of 3.408 (2) Å between the central aromatic rings of 1,10-phenanthroline mol­ecules, lead to a supra­molecular sheet parallel to the bc plane.

Comment top

Many compounds with uncommon magnetic properties have been widely investigated by using azido ligand, resulting from its rich coordination fashions (Ribas et al., 1999; Gao et al., 2004). The azido ligand exhibits a variety of bridging modes such as bi-dentate end-on (EO) and end-to-end (EE) bridging fashions (Liu et al., 2007; Cano et al., 2005; Goher et al., 2008; Mautner et al., 2010). A number of compounds with various structures have been obtained by introducing auxiliary ligands to the metal-azido system (Abu-Youssef et al., 2000; Bose et al., 2004; Meyer et al., 2005). The present example shows an infinite wavelike chain compound with 1,10-phenanthroline as an auxiliary ligand, [Cd(N3)2(C12H8N2)], in which azido ligand adopts the EO mode.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound contains half a CdII ion, one azido ion and half a 1,10-phenanthroline molecule (Fig. 1). The CdII ion exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry, coordinated by one chelating 1,10-phenanthroline ligand and four azido ligands with the end-on (EO) mode. The distances of Cd—N vary from 2.306 (2) to 2.411 (3) Å . The azido ligands doubly bridge neighbouring CdII centers in the EO fashion, yielding an infinite wave-like CdII-azido chain along the c direction with the shortest Cd···Cd separation being 3.764 (3) Å.

The adjacent CdII-azido chains are mediated by interchained π-π stacking interactions between the aromatic rings of 1,10-phenanthroline molecules, which arrange in the opposite direction alternatively. The centroid-to-centroid distance between the central rings of the phenanthroline is 3.408 (2)Å and the centroid-to-plane distance is 3.28 Å leading to a slippage of 0.936Å. This π-π stacking builts up a 2-D supramolecular layer parallel to the bc plane (Fig. 2).

Experimental top

A mixture of Cd(NO3)2.4H2O (0.308 g, 1.00 mmol), NaN3 (0.065 g, 1.00 mmol), Na(3-cba) (0.085 g, 0.50 mmol 3-Hcba = 3-cyanobenzoate acid), 1,10-phenanthroline (0.099 g, 0.50 mmol) and H2O (8 ml) was placed in a Teflon-lined stainless container, and then heated at 453 K for 2 days, after cooled to room temperature for 2 days. Pale-yellow prism-shaped crystals of the title compound were obtained. IR peaks (KBr, cm-1): 2053 s, 2037 s h, 1589 w, 1515 w, 1425 w, 1333 w, 1284 w, 846 m, 772 w, 727 m, 656 w. A strong band around 2053 cm-1 indicates the presence of the azido group.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
