Crystal structure of bis(acetato-kappa O)bis(pyridine-kappa(2)carboxamide oxime-kappa(2) N, N') cadmium ethanol disolvate

In the title compound, [Cd(CH3COO)(2)(C6H7N3O)(2)]center dot 2C(2)H(5)OH, the Cd-II atom, which lies on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by two monodentate acetate groups and two N, N'-chelating pyridine-2-carboxamide oxime ligands, leading to a distorted octahedral coordination sphere. The mononuclear complex molecules are assembled into chains along the c-axis direction via N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen-bonding interactions. These chains are further assembled by OH center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds involving the ethanol solvent molecules into a threedimensional supramolecular structure.
