摘要
The Cd atom in the title complex, [Cd(C2H3O2)(NCS)(C7H8N4O)(H2O)] center dot H2O, is coordinated by one neutral Schiff base ligand, one acetate anion, one thiocyanate anion and one water molecule, forming a distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry. The thiocyanate S atom and the coordinated water ligand occupy the apical positions of the coordination polyhedron. The acetate acts as a bidentate ligand through the carboxylate O atoms. The Schiff base, derived from the condensation of pyridine-2-carbaldehyde and semicarbazone, acts as a tridentate ligand, coordinating the metal through the amide, imine and pyridyl N atoms in a meridional fashion. The crystal packing is stabilized by pi-pi stacking interactions between the neighboring pyridine rings and hydrogen bonds involving the Schiff base, thiocyanate, water molecules and uncoordinated solvent water molecules.
