Abstract

In the title complex, [Cd(C2O4)(C12H8N2)]n, the CdII atom has a distorted octahedral coordination, defined by four O atoms from two symmetry-related oxalate ligands and by two N atoms from a bidentate 1,10-phenanthroline ligand. Each oxalate ligand bridges two CdII atoms, generating a zigzag chain structure propagating along [100]. The packing of the structure is consolidated by non-classical C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions.
