title: Diaqua-bis-{1-[(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)meth-yl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole-κN}bis-(2,4,5-tricarb-oxy-benzoato-κO)cadmium dihydrate.
abstract: In the title complex, [Cd(C(10)H(5)O(8))(2)(C(10)H(9)N(5))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O, the Cd(II) ion lies on an inversion center and is coordinated by two N atoms from two symmetry-related 1-[(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)meth-yl]-1H-1,2,4-triazole ligands and two O atoms from two monodeprotonated 2,4,5-tricarb-oxy-benzoate anions in equatorial positions and by two water O atoms in axial positions, leading to a distorted octa-hedral environment. In the crystal, complex mol-ecules and solvent water mol-ecules are linked through inter-molecular O-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network. Intra-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are also present.
