A reinvestigation of the structure of bischlorine-bis[2-methoxyl-6-(2 '-hydroxyethyl imidogen methyl)phenol] cadmium(II) complex

The crystal structure of the title complex previously described as monoclinic, space group Cc is corrected to be orthorhombic, space group Fdd2 with cell parameters a = 1,1661 (2)nm, b - 3.0956(10)nm, c = 1.5475(3)nm, V=5.586(2)nm3, Z = 8. Corrections involve changing its crystal system and class as well as the lattice type, but the structure still belongs to one of the non - centrosymmetric space groups, which is necessary for the potential non - linear optical materials. Average atomic coordinates and selected bond lengths and angles are given.
