Four Cd-based complexes with chemical formulae [Cd(L¹)₂(2,2'-Bipy)(H₂O)] (I), [Cd(L²)₂(2,2'-Bipy) · 2H₂O] (II), [Cd(L¹)₂(Phen)(H₂O)] (III), {[Cd(L¹)₂(H₂O)(4,4'-Bipy)] · 3H₂O} (IV) (HL¹ = 3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoic acid, HL² = p-hydroxyphenylacetic acid, Phen = phenantroline), have been synthesized and structurally characterized (CIF file CCDC nos. 1044844 (I), 1044844 (II), 1044844 (III), 1044847 (IV)). Single-crystal X-ray analyses reveal that compounds I and III have mononuclear Cd(II) units linking by three carboxylate groups, complex II shows dinuclear motif, whereas IV exhibits 1D chain constructed by bridging 4,4'-Bipy ligand. The assistant effect of chelating N-donor ligands with 2,2'-Bipy and Phen bind and bridging 4,4'-Bipy, as well as the flexibility of carboxylate, play an important to modulate on the resulting motifs. The detailed analyses of Hirshfeld surface and fingerprint plots provide …
