Crystal engineering through charge transfer interactions; assisted formation of a layered coordination polymer (4-cyanopyridine)cadmium(II) iodide·diiodine

Abstract

Formation of a layered coordination polymer (4-cyanopyridine)cadmium(II) iodide is assisted by n–ς* donor–acceptor interactions between coordinated iodine atoms of the layers and iodine molecules which bridge adjacent layers.
