Conclusion
The study describes the structure of a cadmium coordination polymer with a zigzag chain formation.
Supporting Evidence
- The cadmium ion is six-coordinated by two bromide ions and four oxygen atoms.
- The ligands create a zigzag chain structure.
- Hydrogen bonds connect the chains through uncoordinated water molecules.
Takeaway
Scientists created a special structure using cadmium and some organic materials, which looks like a zigzag chain.
Methodology
The ligand was synthesized and mixed with cadmium nitrate and sodium hydroxide, then heated to form crystals.
