Tetra-?(2)-acetato-bis-{?(2)-5-meth-oxy-2-[(2-morpholinoeth-yl)iminio-meth-yl]phenolato}tricadmium(II).

ABSTRACT: The central Cd(II) atom in the trinuclear title compound, [Cd(3)(C(14)H(19)N(2)O(3))(2)(CH(3)COO)(4)], lies on a center of inversion and is bonded to the O atoms of four acetate groups as well as to the phenolate O atoms of the mono-deprotonated Schiff base ligands in a distorted all-trans octa-hedral geometry. Two of the acetate groups function in a ?(2)-bridging mode, while the other two each chelate to the terminal Cd(II) atom and simultaneously bind to the central metal atom in a ?(3)-bonding mode. The Schiff base anions N,O-chelate to the terminal metal atoms. The morpholine ring assumes a chair conformation.
