title: catena-Poly[[[tetra-aqua-cadmium(II)]-μ-4,4'-bipyridine] fumarate tetra-hydrate].
abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cd(C(10)H(8)N(2))(H(2)O)(4)](C(4)H(2)O(4))·4H(2)O, the Cd(II) atom, on an inversion centre, is six-coordinated by four O atoms from four water mol-ecules and two N atoms from 4,4'-bpy mol-ecules in a distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry. Weak C-H⋯O inter-actions between uncoordinated carboxyl-ate O atoms of fumaric acid and water mol-ecules contribute to the crystal packing stability.
