Abstract

Crystal structures having distinct structural motifs (0-D, 1-D, 2-D), are reported—the results of reactions of  ortho -substituted phenylamines with cadmium halide salts. The aim of the study was to control the size and dimensionality of Cd(II) halide assemblies by changing the steric demands of the  ortho  substituents. The ultimate goal of the research is to synthesize cadmium halide clusters using rational and predictable methods. To this end, the synthesis and crystal structure of a new Cd 3 Cl 126− cluster are also reported.
