mu-Adipato-kappa O-4,O ': O '',O '''-bis[aqua(2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-kappa N-2,N)nitratocadmium(II)] dihydrate

Abstract:In the centrosymmetric binuclear title complex, [Cd-2(C6H8O4)(NO3)(2)(C14H12N2)(2)(H2O)(2)], each Cd atom is seven-coordinated in a CdO5N2 environment with a distorted petagonal-bipyramidal geometry. The water molecules act as both donors and acceptors in O-H O-... hydrogen bonds, interconnecting the molecules into double chains along the b axis. The packing is further stabilized by pi-pi interactions between the phenanthroline ring systems.
