Description
Summary:The title complex, [Cd(C9H7O2)2(H2O)2], was obtained as an unintended product of the reaction of cadmium nitrate with hexamethylenetetramine and cinnamic acid. The CdII ion lies on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated in a slightly distorted trigonal–prismatic environment. In the crystal, the V-shaped molecules are arranged in an interlocking fashion along [010] and O—H...O hydrogen bonds link the molecules, forming a two-dimensional network parallel to (001).
