title: Bis{1,2-bis-[2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)eth-oxy]ethane-κN,N}dichloridocadmium(II) monohydrate.
abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [CdCl(2)(C(12)H(18)N(4)O(2))(2)]·H(2)O, contains one water mol-ecule and two halves of a [CdCl(2)(BIEE)(2)] complex mol-ecule {BIEE is 1,2-bis-[2-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)eth-oxy]ethane}, with the Cd(II) atoms lying on inversion centres. Each metal atom displays an elongated octa-hedral coordination geometry provided by two trans-arranged chloride anions and four N atoms from two BIEE ligands. Weak O-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bond inter-actions contribute to the stability of the crystal packing.
