The NMR signals of 113Cd have been observed in powder samples of the cadmium halides CdF,, CdCl2, CdBr2 '4H20, Cdl 2 , of the cadmium chalcogenides CdO, CdS, CdSe, CdTe and of CdC03 . For m C d in CdCl2 , CdBr2-4H20, CdS and in CdSe anisotropics of the nuclear magnetic shielding have been detected. The shielding tensor in these powders is axially symmetric. For the other specimens no anisotropi...

In the title compound, [CdBr2(C8H8N2)2], the Cd(II) atom has a distorted tetra-hedral coordination formed by the two imino N atoms of two 2-methyl-benzimidazole ligands and two terminal bromide ligands. The Cd(II) atom is slightly out of the benzimidazole planes by 0.320 (3) and 0.210 (3) Å. The dihedral angle between the benzimidazole planes is 71.6 (2)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked ...

In the mol-ecule of the title compound, [CdBr2(C14H12N2)(C2H6OS)], the Cd(II) atom is five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal configuration by two N atoms from a 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline ligand, one O atom from a dimethyl sulfoxide ligand and two Br atoms. In the crystal, π-π contacts between the pyridine and benzene rings [centroid-centroid distances = 3.710 (5), 3.711 (6)...

In the crystal of the title polymeric compound, [CdBr2(C12H12N2)] n , the Cd(II) cation is located on a twofold rotation axis and is six-coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral geometry formed by two N atoms from the 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand and by four bridging Br(-) anions. The bridging function of the Br(-) anions leads to a polymeric chain running along the c axis. Weak C-H⋯π int...

Three flexible α,ω-bis(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazolyl)alkane ligands with different spacers were reacted with CdX2 (X = Cl, Br, I) hydrothermally, resulting in three coordination architectures, namely [CdI2(L)]n (1), [CdBr2(L)]n (2), and Cd2Cl4(L)2 (3) [L1 = 1,3-bis(5,6dimethylbenzimidazole)propane, L2 = 1,5-bis(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole)pentane, L3 = 1,6bis(5,6-dimethylbenzimidazole)hexane]. They ...
