Crystal structure of bis[dihydrobis(3,5-dimethy-1-pyrazolyl)borato]cadmium(II)

The structure of [H2B(3,5-Me2pz)2]2Cd shows the four nitrogen donor atoms form a pseudotetrahedral arrangement about the cadmium(II). The intraligand N—Cd—N angles are restricted to an average of 91.4° by the chelate rings forcing the interligand N—Cd—N bond angles to average 119.4°. The Cd—N bond distances average 2.21 Å with a range of 0.04 Å. The crystal is in the triclinic space group, P\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document} $$\overline 1$$ \end{document} with a = 7.6793(2) Å, b = 8.5992(2) Å, c = 25.0874(4) Å, α = 91.0791(2)°, β = 97.9769(4)°, γ = 110.2344(6)°, and Z = 2.
