Abstract:
An organically templated cadmium selenate of the formula [enH(2)][Cd(H2O)(2)(SeO4)(2)] I has been synthesized by carrying out the reaction between CdO and H2SeO4 in the presence of the amine in aqueous medium at 80degreesC. The structure of I involves isolated infinite [Cd(H2O)(2)(SeO4)(2)](2-) chains running along the c-axis, with the protonated ethylenediamine molecules between them. Crystal data for I are as follows: Monoclinic, space group= C2/c, a = 10.5059(7), b = 10.3605(7), c = 10.6028(7)Å, β = 94.666(2)degrees, V = 1150.25(13) Å3, z = 8, R-1 = 0.0237, wR(2) = 0.0500 (for all data).
