| Abstract: | Assemblies of pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylic acid and CdII in the presence of bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)butane or bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)ethane under ambient conditions yielded two new coordination polymers, namely polytetraaquaμ2‐1,4‐bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)butane‐κ2N4:N4′]bis(μ2‐pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylato‐κ3N1,O2:O3)dicadmium(II)] dihydrate], {Cd2(C6H2N2O4)2(C8H12N6)(H2O)4]·2H2O}n, (I), and polydiaquaμ2‐1,2‐bis(1,2,4‐triazol‐1‐yl)ethane‐κ2N4:N4′]bis(μ3‐pyrazine‐2,3‐dicarboxylato‐κ4N1,O2:O3:O3′)dicadmium(II)] dihydrate], {Cd2(C6H2N2O4)2(C6H8N6)(H2O)2]·2H2O}n, (II). Complex (I) displays an interesting two‐dimensional wave‐like structure and forms a distinct extended three‐dimensional supramolecular structure with the help of O—H...N and O—H...O hydrogen bonds. Complex (II) has a three‐dimensional framework structure in which hydrogen bonds of the O—H...N and O—H...O types are found. |
