Abstract
Two adducts of [Cd(SCN)2] and isonicotinonitrile, [Cd(SCN)2(pyCN)n] (pyCN = isonicotinonitrile, n = 1, 2), have been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis. The coordination environment of the cadmium atoms in both 1 and 2 is a distorted octahedron with a 2S4N coordination geometry. Compound 1 crystallizes via the SCN- functionality, resulting in infinite linear chains. Compound 2 crystallizes via both SCN- and isonicotinonitrile functionality, thus forming an infinite 3D framework material based on 22- and 8-membered rings.
