metal-organic compounds
The title compound, [Cd(C2H6O2PS2)2(C10H8N2)]n, contains zigzag chains linked through the 4,4′-bipyridine groups. The Cd atom exhibits a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment, consisting of four S atoms of the chelating dimethyl dithiophosphate ligands and two N atoms of the centrosymmetric bridging 4,4′-bipyridine ligand.
organic compounds
The title compound, C30H33NO4, was synthesized by the reaction of 2,6-dihydroxybenzaldehyde with p-toluidine and 5,5-dimethylcyclohexane-1,3-dione in glycol under microwave irradition. X-ray analysis reveals that the dihydropyridine ring is in a distorted boat conformation and that the cyclohexenone rings adopt enevelope conformations. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked by O—HO hydrogen bonds around a centre of symmetry to form a dimer.
