The title complex was prepared by the addition of a stoichiometric amount of cadmium nitryl (20 mmol) and imidazole (20 mmol) to a hot aqueous solution of 4-chlorobenzoic acid (30 mmol). The Ph was then adjusted to 7.0 to 8.0 with NaOH (30 mmol). The resulting solution was filtered, and colorless crystals were obtained at room temperature on slow evaporation of the solvent over several days.
The water molecules are arranged as symmetry related pairs around a center of inversion. Each of the water molecules showed significantly elongated thermal ellipsoids indicating disorder over two positions. The most likely cause for this behavior seems to be asymmetric hydrogen bonding between the pairs of water molecules which are separated by about three Å. The disorder of the water molecule also translates to the imidazole ligand hydrogen bonded to it as indicated by the asymmetric anisotropic displacement parameters when compared to the other imidazole ligand. Based on these observations both the water molecule as well as the imidazole ligand were refined as being disordered over two sites in a one to one ratio. Due to the significant overlap of the disordered atoms the following restraints
were applied: The adps of the disordered atoms were restrained to be close to isotropic and those of equivalent atoms were set to be identical. In the imidazole ring equivalent bond distances were restrained to be the same.
Carbon-bound H atoms were placed at calculated positions and were treated as riding on the parent C atoms with C—H = 0.93 Å, N—H = 0.86 Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.2 Ueq(C, N). Water H atoms were tentatively located in difference Fourier maps and were refined with distance restraints of O–H = 0.85 Å and H···H = 1.39 Å, each within a standard deviation of 0.01 Å; other H-atoms.
Molecular self-assembly of supramolecular architectures has received much attention during recent decades (Kim et al., 2003; Iglesias et al., 2003; Moulton & Zaworotko, 2001). The structures and properties of such systems depend on the coordination and geometric preferences of both the central metals ions and bridging building blocks as well as the influence of weaker non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions. 4-Chlorobenzoic acid and imidazole are excellent candidates for the construction of supramolecular complexes, since they not only have multiple coordination modes but also can form regular hydrogen bonds by functioning as both hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor (Gu et al., 2004). Recently, we obtained the title novel polymer cadmium complex (I) by the reaction of cadmium nitryl, 4-chlorobenzoic acid and imidazole in an aqueous solution, and its crystal structure is reported here.
As illustrated in Fig. 1, in the asymmetric unit of (I) each CdII centre is coordinated by five carboxyl O atoms from three 4-chlorobenzoic acid ligands, two N atoms from two imidazole ligands, and displaying a distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry (Table 1). Via a Cd···Cd interaction between symmetrically related moieties the compound forms dinuclear structures with a Cd···Cd separation of 3.868 (3)Å that are further extended to a supramolecular network through intermolecular hydrogen bonds (Table 2) and via π-π stacking interactions. The face-to-face distance between parallel 4-chlorobenzoic acids of neighboring complexes is 3.563 (3) Å. There is also π-π stacking interactions of imidazoles with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.623 (3) Å. The interstitial water molecules are arranged in hydrogen bonded pairs around a center of inversion. The H bonds between the water molecules are incompatible with the inversion symmetry of the unit cell thus inducing a disorder of the water molecule as well as the imidazole ligand H-bonded to it (see refinement section for details).

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

Molecular self-assembly of supramolecular architectures has received much attention during recent decades (Kim et al., 2003; Iglesias et al., 2003; Moulton & Zaworotko, 2001). The structures and properties of such systems depend on the coordination and geometric preferences of both the central metals ions and bridging building blocks as well as the influence of weaker non-covalent interactions, such as hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions. 4-Chlorobenzoic acid and imidazole are excellent candidates for the construction of supramolecular complexes, since they not only have multiple coordination modes but also can form regular hydrogen bonds by functioning as both hydrogen-bond donor and acceptor (Gu et al., 2004). Recently, we obtained the title novel polymer cadmium complex (I) by the reaction of cadmium nitryl, 4-chlorobenzoic acid and imidazole in an aqueous solution, and its crystal structure is reported here.
As illustrated in Fig. 1, in the asymmetric unit of (I) each CdII centre is coordinated by five carboxyl O atoms from three 4-chlorobenzoic acid ligands, two N atoms from two imidazole ligands, and displaying a distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry (Table 1). Via a Cd···Cd interaction between symmetrically related moieties the compound forms dinuclear structures with a Cd···Cd separation of 3.868 (3)Å that are further extended to a supramolecular network through intermolecular hydrogen bonds (Table 2) and via π-π stacking interactions. The face-to-face distance between parallel 4-chlorobenzoic acids of neighboring complexes is 3.563 (3) Å. There is also π-π stacking interactions of imidazoles with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.623 (3) Å. The interstitial water molecules are arranged in hydrogen bonded pairs around a center of inversion. The H bonds between the water molecules are incompatible with the inversion symmetry of the unit cell thus inducing a disorder of the water molecule as well as the imidazole ligand H-bonded to it (see refinement section for details).
