Cadmium(II) Metal-Organic Frameworks Based on Iodine-Substituted Terephthalic Acid Derivatives and 1,1'-(1,4-Butanediyl)-bis-imidazole

Two metal-organic frameworks based on Cd(II) and 2-iodo-(2-I-Bdc) and 2,5-diodo-(2,5-I-Bdc)terephthalate were obtained: [Cd(2-I-Bdc)(Bbi)] (I) and [Cd2(2,5-I-Bdc)2(DMF)2(Bbi)] (II) (Bbi = 1,1'-(1,4-butanediyl)bis(imidazole)). The structures of both complexes were established by X-ray diffraction (CCDC no. 2258217 (I) and 2257566 (II)).
