The complex {[Cd-2(C9H8O3N)(2)(CH3COO)(2)(4,4'-bipy)(2)]center dot(4,4'-bipy)center dot(H2O)(4)}(n) with 4-acetamidobenzoic acid and 4,4'-bipyridine has been synthesized with liquid diffusion method and characterized. It crystallizes in the monoclinic space group C2/c. The crystal structure shows that two neighboring cadmium(II) ions are linked together by two bridging acetic acid radicals, forming a binuclear structure. Adjacent binnuclear structure is linked together by two bridging 4,4'-bipy molecules and the complex molecule forms an one-dimensional double-chain structure. The luminescent ...
