title: Bis(3,5-dicarboxy-benzoato-κO,O')(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')cadmium(II).
abstract: The mol-ecule of the title compound, [Cd(C(9)H(5)O(6))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))], has crystallographic twofold rotation symmetry. The Cd(II) atom, located on the twofold axis, assumes a CdO(4)N(2) distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. In the crystal structure, the mol-ecules link to each other by O-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonding to form a three-dimensional supra-molecular network.
