KCd2[N(CN)2]5(H2O)4: an enmeshed honeycomb grid.
The title compound, poly[potassium [diaquapenta-micro(2)-dicyanamido-dicadmium(II)] dihydrate], {K[Cd(2)(C(2)N(3))(5)(H(2)O)(2)].2H(2)O}(n), contains two-dimensional anionic sheets of {[Cd(2){N(CN)(2)}(H(2)O)(2)](-)}(n) with a modified (6,3)-net (layer group cm2m, No. 35). Two sets of equivalent sheets interpenetrate orthogonally to form a tetragonal enmeshed grid.
