The crystal structure of Cd(BDA)(phen)2(H2O)(H2O)2 (1) (BDA=6,6′-dibromo-2,2′-dimethoxy-1,1′-bi- naphthylene-4,4′-disulfonate, phen=1,10-phenanthroline)consists of a cadmium center whose coordination envi- ronment can be best described as a slightly distorted octahedron defined four nitrogen atoms from two phen lig- ands and two oxygen atoms differently from BDA ligand and water. There are strong hydrogen-bonding interac- tions between water and sulfonate group of BDA ligands to construct the 3D network. CCDC: 277921.
The reaction of homochiral bis(2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyl xanthalato) nickel(II) with pyridine yields an chiral adduct bis(2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexyl xanthalato)(dipyridine) nickel(II) (Ⅰ) in which the coordination geometry of the central Ni atom displays a slightly distorted octahedron composed of four S atoms from two xanthalato ligands and two N atoms from pyridine rings. CCDC: 252342.
