摘要

The title coordination polymer, {[Cd-2(CH2N5)(C6H4NO2)-Cl(OH)]center dot 0.14H(2)O}n, (I), was synthesized by the reaction of cadmium acetate and N-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)isonicotinamide in aqueous ammonia, using hydrochloric acid to adjust the pH. Under hydrothermal conditions, N-(1H-tetrazol-5-yl)isonicotinamide slowly hydrolyzes to form isonicotinic acid (Hisonic) and 5-aminotetrazole (Hatz). The deprotonated form of isonicotinic acid (denoted isonic) acts as a bridging ligand in the structure. The polymer crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2Im. In the structure, there is one Cd-3(mu(3)-OH) unit of C-s. symmetry, with one of the Cd-II atoms and the O and H atoms located on a mirror plane. The other crystallographically independent CdIT cation is located on an inversion centre. Each edge of the Cd-3(mu(3)-OH) isosceles triangle is bridged by an atz ligand in a mu(1,2) or mu(2,3)/mu(3,4) mode. The Cd-3(mu(3)-OH) units are laced around with a belt of chloride ligands. The belts are further connected into undulating layers via weak inter-belt Cd-Cl bonds. The two organic ligands reside across mirror planes. The construction of a three-dimensional framework is completed by the pillaring isonic ligand. Water molecules partially occupy the voids of the framework.
