The title complex was synthesized with Cd(NO 3)2·6H2O and 1,4-di(2-methyl-imidazolyl)methylbenzene ligand in the presence of 5-bromide-isophthalate under the solvothermal condition.The X-ray diffraction result indicates that the complex crystallizes as an orthorhombic crystal system with space group of Pnna.In the complex,the cadmium cation coordinates with the oxygen atom of in the bidentate chelate to form a 1D chain.It forms a 3D framework by bridging with the nitrogen atom from the ligand,extending to different directions,and consequently ...
