Spectral, thermal and structural studies of an acetate bridged polymeric cadmium(II) complex: Poly[aqua(μ-acetato)(4-aminobenzoato)cadmium(II) monohydrate]

Single crystals of [Cd(CH3COO)(paba)H2O]·H2O (Hpaba = 4-aminobenzoic acid) were grown by gel diffusion method. X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the compound crystallizes in a monoclinic space group P21/n and is a three dimensional metal-organic framework. Structural studies confirmed the porous nature of the framework.
