The two cadmium(II) ions are bridged by a carboxyl group from one 2-pyridinecarboxylate ligand. The thermal gravimetry (TG) data indicate three steps of decomposition, and the final thermal decomposition product is CdO. %K Cadmium %K Crystal structure %K 2-Pyridinecarboxylic acid %K Benzimidazole %U http://www.ajol.info/index.php/bcse/article/view/47671
