Chloro(2-
The crystal structure of the title complex, [Cd(C(20)H(25)N(2)O(2))Cl], reveals a hydrogen-bonded dimer composed of neutral molecules. The Cd(II) 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) degrees between them. The coordinated phenolate and phenolic groups of inversion-related molecules form strong intermolecular O-H.O hydrogen bonds.
