Abstract: | The crystal structure of the title complex, Cd(C20H25N2O2)Cl], reveals a hydrogen‐bonded dimer composed of neutral molecules. The CdII center is five‐coordinated by two O atoms of the pendant arms, two nitrogen donors of the 1,5‐diazacyclooctane ring and a chloride anion. The coordination geometry of the complex could be described as a distorted square pyramid. The 1,5‐diazacyclooctane backbone adopts a boat/chair configuration and the two phenol/phenolato groups have a dihedral angle of 101.3 (2)° between them. The coordinated phenolate and phenolic groups of inversion‐related molecules form strong intermolecular O—H?O hydrogen bonds. |
