A Hyperbranched Polymer of Cadmium

Abstract

Crystal structure analysis of Cd(aepn)(NCS)₂ [aepn=(2-aminoethyl)(3-aminopropyl)amine] reveals that each cadmium(II) possesses distorted octahedral geometry and is linked to four different nearest cadmium centres via thiocyanate groups and non-chelated arms of the triamine ligands forming a chain linked system of a hyperbranched polymeric molecule.
