Self-assembly of a bis-tridentate Py₂S₄ ligand and cadmium cation into 1- and 2-D coordination networks†

Abstract

Using a Py₂S₄ bis-tridentate ligand and Cd(II), 1- and 2-D coordination networks were obtained and characterised in the solid state; whereas a 1-D network was obtained using the cadmium(II) dichloride salt, a 2-D network was obtained using a mixed chloride and tetrafluoroborate cadmium(II) salt; in the latter case, the inclusion of two CHCl₃ molecules within cavities formed by the organic and inorganic fragments was observed.
