Description:
In the title compound, [Cd(C10H8O6)(C10H8N2)(H2O)2]n, the CdII ion has inversion symmetry and is coordinated by O atoms from two water molecules and two bridging 2,2′-(μ-p-phenylenedioxy)diacetate ligands and two N atoms from two 4,4′-bipyridine ligands, giving a slightly distorted octahedral geometry. The diacetate and 4,4′-bipyridine ligands also lie across inversion centers. The bridging ligands form layers parallel to (11\overline{1}), with adjacent layers interconnected via O—H...O hydrogen bonds between the coordinated water molecules and the carboxylate O atoms, giving a three-dimensional supramolecular architecture.
