Abstract
Abstract The new cadmium iodide complex CdL2I2 (where L is a Schiff base ligand, 2-bromobenzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone) has been synthesized and characterized by spectroscopic techniques and single-crystal X-ray analysis. The coordination geometry about the cadmium atom is distorted trigonal bipyramidal with two iodide atoms and one sulfur atom, S(2), from one of the two ligands in the equatorial plane; the iodide atom I(1a) from an adjacent moiety and the other sulfur atom S(1) occupy the axial positions. The iodide I(1a) and I(1) serve as bridges to form a centrosymmetric dimeric structure.
