Poly[dimethylammonium [tris(μ2-formato-κ2O: O′)cadmate(II)]]

Abstract

In the coordination polymer, {(C2H8N)[Cd(CHO 2)3]}n , the CdII atom lies on a special position of site symmetry in an octa-hedron of O atoms. The formate unit bridges the metal atoms, generating a three-dimensional polyanionic framework. The disordered cations occupy the cavities within the framework, and are N - H⋯O hydrogen-bonded to the framework.
