Abstract

The title compound, [Cd(NO3)2(C11H13N3)2], was synthesized by hydro­thermal reaction of Cd(NO3)2 and S-2-(pyrrolidin-2-yl)-1H-1,3-benzimidazole. The Cd atom lies on an inversion centre. The distorted octa­hedral Cd environment contains two planar trans-related N,N-chelating S-2-(pyrrolidin-2-yl)-1H-1,3-benzimidazole ligands in one plane and two monodentate nitrate ligands. N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving a nitrate O atom build up an infinite chain parallel to the a axis.

Comment

Metal-organic coordination compounds provide a class of complexes displaying interesting chemical and physical properties such as fluorescence and dielectric behaviors (Aminabhavi et al., 1986; Ye et al., 2008). There has been very strong interest in employing crystal-engineering strategies to generate desirable materials by the hydrothermal reaction. Here we report the synthesis and crystal structure of the title compound Nitrate-(S-2-(pyrrolidin-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole)-Cadmium).

In the title compound, the cadmium atom lies on an inversion centre. The distorted octahedral Cd environment contains two planar trans-related N,N-chelating S-2-(pyrrolidin-2-yl)-1H-benzo imidazole in one plane and two monodentate nitrate (Fig. 1). N—H···O hydrogen bonds involving one O atom of the nitrate build up an infinite chain developing parallel to the a axis (Table 1).

Experimental

The homochiral ligand S-2-(pyrrolidin-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole was synthesized by reaction of S-pyrrolidine-2-carboxylic acid and benzene-1,2-diamine according to the procedure described in the literature(Aminabhavi, et al.(1986)). A mixture of S-2-(pyrrolidin-2-yl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole(0.1 mmol) and Cd(NO3)2 (0.1 mmol) and water (1 ml) sealed in a glass tube were maintained at 70 °C. Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained after 3 days.

Refinement

Positional parameters of all the H atoms bonded to C or N atoms were calculated geometrically and were allowed to ride on the C atoms to which they are bonded, with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C or N).

Special details

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
