Di-mu-acesulfamato-kappa3N,O:O;kappa3O:N,O-bis[(acesulfamato-kappa2N,O)bis(3-methylpyridine)cadmium(II)].

In the structure of the title compound, [Cd(2)(C(4)H(4)NO(4)S)(2)(C(6)H(7)N)(2)], the dinuclear Cd(II) complex is located on a twofold axis with two Cd(2+) ions bridged by two oxide O atoms. Each Cd(2+) ion is additionally coordinated in an equatorial plane by two N and three O atoms of the acesulfamate ligands and axially by two N atoms of the 3-methylpyridine ligands, resulting in a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal coordination. We present here an example of a supramolecular assembly based on hydrogen bonds in a mixed-ligand metal complex; intermolecular C-H...O hydrogen bonds give rise to R(4)(4)(40) rings, which lead to one-dimensional chains.
