A new mononuclear Cd-II complex, [CdL(H2O)(2)], with halogen-substituted Salen-type bisoxime ligand (H2L = 4,4-dibromo- 6,6-dichloro-2,2-[ethylenedioxybis(nitrilomethylidyne)]diphenol), was synthesized and structurally characterized. The Cd-II complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group C2/c. The Cd-II center exhibits a slightly distorted octahedral geometry with halogen-substituted Salen-type bisoxime ligand forming the basal N2O2 coordination plane and two oxygen atoms from the coordinated water molecules in the axial position. An infinite 1D metal-water chain is formed by intermolecular hydrogen-bonding and - stacking interactions of neighboring benzene rings. Supplemental materials are available for this article.
