The molecular structures of the zinc and cadmium compounds, (Cbp)2ZnBr2and (Cbp)2CdBr2, which feature a zwitterionic ligand derived fromN-(4-carboxybenzyl)pyridinium, have been determined by using X-ray diffraction. Comparison of the structures of (Cbp)2ZnBr2and (Cbp)2CdBr2demonstrates that whereas the zinc compound adopts unidentate coordination of the carboxylate ligand, the cadmium counterpart exhibits anisobidentate coordination. The Zn–Br [2.4339(8) Å] and Cd–Br [2.6357(6) Å] bond lengths differ by 0.20 Å, which is in accord with the difference in covalent radii of zinc and cadmium (0.22 Å); as such, it suggests that the previous structure of “(Cbp)2ZnBr2”, which possesses a Zn–Br bond length of 2.635(2) Å, actually corresponds to that of (Cbp)2CdBr2.
