The Cd 2+ ion is bonded to four spar £¿ ligands: Two O,O-chelate with their ¦Â-keto carboxylate groupings and two are monodentate-bound through a carboxylate O atom, to result in a distorted CdO 6 octahedral coordination geometry. The bridging ligands lead to [100] polymeric chains in the crystal and N¨CH¡¤¡¤¡¤O hydrogen bonds and possible weak aromatic p¨Cp stacking interactions help to consolidate the structure.
