Complexes of 1-(4-Methoxyphenyl)-1,4-Dihydro-5 H -Tetrazole-5-Thione and 1-(2-Methoxyphenyl)-1,4-Dihydro-5 H -Tetrazole-5-Thione with Cadmium Chloride: Synthesis and Molecular and Crystal Structures

New complex compounds [Cd(μ-L 1 ) 2 ] n ( I ), [Cd(μ-L 2 )(μ-Cl)(μ-DMSO)] n ( III ), and [Cd 2 (μ-L 2 )(μ-Cl) 3 (μ-DMSO)DMSO/EtOH] n ( IV ) are synthesized by the reactions of 1-(4-methoxyphenyl)-1,4-dihydro-5 H -tetrazole-5-thione (HL 1 ) and 1-(2-methoxyphenyl)-1,4-dihydro-5 H -tetrazole-5-thione (HL 2 ) with cadmium chloride. The molecular and crystal structures of the complexes are determined by X-ray structure analysis (CIF files CCDC nos. 1993455 ( I ), 1869249 ( III ), and 1993497 ( IV )). Complexes I , III , and IV have uniform polymeric structures. The О···Н, Cl···H, and C···S contacts are observed between 1D polymeric chains in the crystal cells of complexes I , III , and IV. Complexes III and IV contain DMSO molecules. Under other equivalent conditions, the reaction of HL 1 or HL 2 with cadmium chloride in ethanol affords complex I or II of different compositions. Complex II contains the chlorine atom as found by scanning electron microscopy, whereas no chlorine is observed in complex I according to the X-ray structure analysis data.
