| Abstract: | The reaction of L-histidine,CdCl2(2.5H2O and 4,4'-bipyridine in methane/water gave rise to a two-dimensional coordination polymer CdCl2(4,4'-bipyridine)]( which has been characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.The polymer crystallizes in the orthorhombic sys-tem,space group Cmmm with a = 12.083(7),b = 11.771(7),c = 3.781(2)(A),V = 537.8(6)(A)3,Z = 2,C10H8N2CdCl2,Mr = 339.48,Dc = 2.097 g/cm3,F(000) = 328 and μ(MoKα) = 2.490 mm-1.The final R = 0.0658 and wR = 0.1398 for 257 observed reflections with I≥2σ(I). |
