Description
Summary:In the title compound, {[CdCl2(C16H20N4)2]·4H2O}n, octahedrally coordinated CdII ions, situated on crystallographic inversion centres, bearing trans-disposed chloride ligands, are linked into (4,4)-grid coordination polymer layers by tethering 1,4-bis(3-pyridylmethyl)piperazine ligands. The layers are aligned parallel to the (overline{1}01) crystal planes and aggregate by means of O—H...N, O—H...O and O—H...Cl hydrogen-bonding mechanisms imparted by cyclic water molecule tetramers.
