Hydrothermal Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Selenite-chloride：[Cd4（SeO3）2Cl4（H2O）]n with a Three-dimensional Framework

A novel three-dimensional(3-D) compound Cd4(SeO3)2Cl4(H2O)]n(1) was prepared from a hydrothermal reaction and structurally characterized.Compound 1 crystallizes in the space group Fmmm of the orthorhombic system with eight formula units in a cell:a = 15.5165(4),b = 17.5090(9),c = 7.3318(5) ,V = 1991.9(2) 3,Cd4Cl4H2O7Se2,Mr = 863.38,Dc = 5.758 g/cm3,S = 1.075,μ(MoKα) = 16.820 mm-1,F(000) = 3088,R = 0.0427 and wR = 0.1220.Compound 1 features a 3-D structure with the cadmium atoms having two different coordination environments,i.e.,six-and eight-coordination geometries.Two different chain-like structures of cadmium-oxo polyhedra are interconnect to each other to give a 2-D layer of Cd4(SeO3)2(H2O)]n4n+.Between the Cd4(SeO3)2(H2O)]n4n+ layers is a novel chloride layer.A 3-D framework is constructed from these Cd4(SeO3)2(H2O)]n4n+ layers linked by the chloride layers.
