Bis[2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1H-benz­imidazol-1-ido]diethano­lcadmium

In the title complex, [Cd(C₁₃H₈N₅)₂(C₂H₅OH)₂], the Cd^II cation is located on an inversion center and coordinated by two deprotonated 2-(1H-benzotriazol-1-yl)-1H-benzimid­azol-1-ide (L) ligands and two ethanol mol­ecules in a distorted N₄O₂ octa­hedral geometry. In the L ligand, the dihedral angle between benzoimidazole and benzotriazole ring systems is 10.8 (3)°. In the crystal, the complex mol­ecules are connected by O—H...N hydrogen bonds; inter­molecular π–π stacking is also observed [centroid–centroid distances of 3.668 (5) Å between triazole and benzene rings and 3.780 (5) Å between imidazole rings].

1,3-Dimethyl-1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-3-ium tetra­chloridoferrate(III)

The asymmetric unit of the title salt, (C₈H₁₀N₃)[FeCl₄], contains one 1,3-dimethyl-1H-1,2,3-benzotriazol-3-ium cation and one tetra­chloridoferrate anion. The Fe^III atom in the anion is tetra­hedrally coordinated by four Cl atoms. In the crystal, inter­actions are observed between the Cl atoms and the triazolium ring [Cl...centroid distances = 3.587 (3) and 3.866 (3) Å].
