Hypothesis
The study aims to prepare a cadmium(II) complex with sulfadiazine in methanol.
Conclusion
The cadmium complex exhibits a distorted trigonal-prismatic coordination geometry and is stabilized by hydrogen bonding.
Supporting Evidence
- The cadmium complex is six coordinated by two bidentate sulfadiazinate anions and two dimethylsulfoxide molecules.
- The crystal structure features intermolecular hydrogen bonds that lead to the formation of layers.
Takeaway
The researchers made a new compound using cadmium and sulfadiazine, which has a special shape and sticks together with the help of tiny connections called hydrogen bonds.
Methodology
The sodium salt of sulfadiazine was reacted with a cadmium salt in methanol, followed by crystallization from dimethylsulfoxide.
