Abstract:
The metathesis reaction between CdCl2.2H(2)O and sodium oxalate in n-hexanol under solvothermal conditions yields a hybrid compound of formula Cd-2(C2O4)(0.5)Cl3NaCl.4H(2)O, It consists of one-dimensional chains formed by Cd and Cl atoms, containing mu(2)(Cl) and mu(3)(Cl) bridges, and cross-linked by oxalate units to give a layered structure. The Na+ ions and water molecules occupy the interlamellar spaces. ((C) Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2003).
