In the title compound, [Cd(CN)(2)(CH(4)N(2)S)(2)]·H(2)O, the Cd atom lies on a twofold rotation axis and is bonded to two S atoms of thio-urea and two C atoms of the cyanide anions in a distorted tetra-hedral environment. The crystal structure is stabilized by N-H⋯N(CN), N-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds.

The antimicrobial activity of some novel ascorbic acid-metal complexes [bisascorbate complexes of copper (II), zinc(II), manganese (11), iron (111), cobalt(II), lead(II) and cadmium(II)] was investigated. Four standard strains of bacterial species - Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis and Klebsiella pneumonia and four fungal species - Trichophyton sp. Penicillium sp....

The title compound, [Cd(C(6)H(4)NO(3))(2)(H(2)O)(4)], was obtained by the reaction of cadmium chloride with 5-hydroxy-nicotinic acid. The Cd(II) atom is located on an inversion centre and is coordinated by two N atoms from two 5-hydroxy-nicotinic acid ligands and four water mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. The structure is stabilized by inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, formi...

The title compound, [Cd(C(4)H(4)O(4))(H(2)O)(2)](n), has been synthesized under hydro-thermal conditions. The asymmetric unit consists of one Cd(2+) cation, one succinate anion and two aqua ligands. The Cd atoms present a distorted penta-gonal bipyramidal coordination and are bridged into layers parallel to (201) by succinate ligands.

Semiquinone metal complexes derived from the antitumor antibiotic streptonigrin have been prepared for the first time. Ž . Ž . They were obtained by reduction of the zinc II and cadmium II complexes of the parent aminoquinone ligand with sodium borohydride, followed by air oxidation of the intermediate dihydroquinones. Alternatively, N-benzyldihydronicotinamide Ž . reduction was used to produce...

Cadmium is one of the many toxic elements for humans even at low concentrations, and it could exist in environment a long time. The ion imprinting technique has gained much attention due to its selective recognition performance. In this study, cadmium imprinted maleic acid-co-acrylonitrile polymeric microsphere (Cd-I-MA-co-AN) was synthesized via precipitation polymerization using Cd(II) as tem...

The title compound, {[Cd(C(4)H(4)O(6))]·0.167H(2)O}(n), adopts a three-dimensional network structure in which each Cd(II) ion is chelated by two pairs of carboxyl-ate and hydroxyl O atoms from two tartrate anions, and is additionally linked to two O atoms of two carboxyl-ate groups that are not involved in chelation. The asymmetric unit has four independent cadmium atoms, two of which lie on sp...

In the title complex, [CdCl(2)(C(14)H(13)N(3))(2)], the Cd(II) ion lies on a twofold rotation axis and assumes a distorted octa-hedral CdN(4)Cl(2) coordination geometry. There is a π-π stacking inter-action between the symmetry-related 1,10-phenanthroline ligands with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.5578 (16) Å and a perpendicular distance of 3.445 (su?) Å between the relevant rings.

The cadmium content of crystallized horse spleen ferritin, usually about 2% by weight without special treatment, can be substantially decreased by prolonged dialysis against certain chelating agents, chaotropic ions, or weakly reducing anions. For example, neutral bisulphite buffer (2M) removed 95% of the bound cadmium of crystallization without affecting the iron content, and may thus be valua...
