A one-dimensional CdII coordination polymer: catena-poly[cadmium(II)-bis(mu-6-methylpicolinato)].
In the title compound, [Cd(C(7)H(6)NO(2))2]n, the Cd(II) ion has a distorted octahedral geometry. The 6-methylpyridine-2-carboxylate anions are perpendicular to one another and act as bidentate and bridging ligands. Two carboxylate O atoms bridge the Cd(II) ions, forming centrosymmetric dinuclear units. These units are further connected via carboxylate O atoms into a one-dimensional polymeric chain which extends in the [100] direction.
