Distinct Cd(II)-tetrazole frameworks determined by auxiliary anions

Abstract Two new Cd(II)-tetrazole coordination polymers with different auxiliary anions, namely [Cd 10 (ATZ) 13 (ac) 2 (H 2 O) 2 F 5 ]•2H 2 O ( 1 ) and [Cd 3 (ATZ) 4 Cl 2 (C 2 H 5 OH) 2 ] ( 2 ), were solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Both compounds exhibit interesting three-dimensional Cd-ATZ frameworks, but their coordination networks are totally different and show distinct topologies.
