Figure 1: Crystal Structure of triarylamide compound 1.

(a) The triarylamide compound 1. Two monomers in the asymmetric unit have different ligand coordination. (b) Monomer 1 contains two acetates bound to each Cd(II) ion (grey). A hydrated Na+ ion (purple sphere) binds between the two Cd(II) sites, maintaining electrical neutrality. (c) Monomer 2 has two acetates bound to one Cd(II), a single acetate bound to the second Cd(II) and no sodium ion.
