title: Dichloridotris(2-methyl-1H-imidazole-κN(3))cadmium.
abstract: In the title compound, [CdCl(2)(C(4)H(6)N(2))(3)], the Cd(II) atom displays a penta-coordinate CdN(3)Cl(2) coordination geometry, being coordinated by an N atom of three 2-methyl-imidazole ligands and two Cl atoms. In the crystal, the mononuclear complexes are linked by N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional network in the ab plane.
