Diaquabis(4-methylbenzoato-κ2O,O′)cadmium(II)

Abstract

In the title mononuclear complex, [Cd(C8H7O2)2(H2O)2], the CdII atom possesses crystallographically imposed C2 site symmetry, and is coordinated by four O atoms from two 4-methylbenzoate ligands and two water molecules, displaying a distorted octahedral geometry. The molecules are assembled via intermolecular O—H...O hydrogen-bond interactions into a supramolecular architecture.
