Abstract
The title compound, [CdBr2(C6H8N2)]n, was prepared by the reaction of cadmium bromide with 2,3-dimethylpyrazine in acetonitrile. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) indicated that a pure phase had been obtained. The asymmetric unit consists of one Cd cation located on a center of inversion, one 2,3-dimethylpyrazine ligand situated on a twofold rotation axis and one bromide anion in a general position. In the extended structure, the cadmium cation is octahedrally coordinated by four bridging bromide anions and two bridging 2,3-dimethylpyrazine coligands. The cations are linked via common bromide-ion edges into [010] chains that are further connected into (100) layers by the bridging 2,3-dimethylpyrazine coligands. Measurements using thermogravimetry and differential thermoanalysis reveal that the compound decomposes in two separate steps in which a more 2,3-dimethylpyrazine-deficient compound is formed, which according to PXRD measurements is crystalline.
期刊介绍:
Acta Crystallographica Section E: Crystallographic Communications is the IUCr''s open-access structural communications journal. It provides a fast, simple and easily accessible publication mechanism for crystal structure determinations of inorganic, metal-organic and organic compounds. The electronic submission, validation, refereeing and publication facilities of the journal ensure rapid and high-quality publication of fully validated structures. The primary article category is Research Communications; these are peer-reviewed articles describing one or more structure determinations with appropriate discussion of the science.
