Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Fluorescene of a One-dimensional Compound {CdI2（2,2′-bipy）}n

The title compound, {CdI2(2,2′-bipy)}n, was prepared by the hydrothermal reac- tion of CdI2 and 2,2′-bipy in an aqueous solution, and its crystal structure was determined by X-ray single-crystal analysis. Crystallographic data for 1: C10H8N2CdI2, monoclinic system, space group C2/c, a = 16.927(1), b = 10.0925(7), c = 7.7422(3) , β = 106.0629(4)°, V = 1271.00(14) 3, Z = 4, F(000) = 944, μ = 6.546 mm-1, Dc = 2.730 g/cm3, Mr = 522.38, the final R = 0.0309 and wR = 0.0805 for 1310 observed reflections (I > 2σ(I)). X-ray crystal structure analysis shows that the Cd atom is coordinated by four iodines and two N atoms from one 2,2′-bipy to form an 1-D chain-like structure through bridging iodines. The fluorescene of the title compound was also discussed.
