title: Diaqua-bis-(5-carb-oxy-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxyl-ato-κN,O)cadmium N,N-dimethyl-formamide disolvate.
abstract: In the title complex, [Cd(C(8)H(9)N(2)O(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2C(3)H(7)NO, the six-coordinate Cd(II) ion is in a slightly distorted octa-hedral environment, defined by two O atoms from two coordinated water mol-ecules and two carboxyl-ate O atoms and two N atoms from two N,O-bidentate 5-carb-oxy-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxyl-ate ligands. In the crystal, complex mol-ecules and dimethyl-formamide solvent mol-ecules are linked by O-H⋯O and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional supra-molecular structure. The propyl groups of the ligands are disordered over two conformations with refined occupancies of 0.680 (7) and 0.320 (7).
