| Summary: | The complete molecule of the title compound, [CdFe2(C5H5)2(C12H8O2)2(CH4O)4], is generated by crystallographic twofold symmetry, with the Cd atom lying on the rotation axis. The Cd atom is coordinated by the O atoms of the four methanol molecules and by the O atoms of the two carboxylate anions (the latter in cis geometry), resulting in a distorted CdO6 octahedron. The phenylene ring is almost coplanar with its adjacent cyclopentadienyl ring [dihedral angle = 8.2 (2)°]. The uncoordinated carboxylate O atom acts as acceptor to two O—H...O hydrogen bonds from the methanol molecules, giving rise to a layered network. |
