title: (4,4'-Dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine-κ(2) N,N')(dimethyl-formamide-κO)diiodido-cadmium.
abstract: In the title compound, [CdI2(C12H12N2)(C3H7NO)], the Cd(II) cation is five-coordinated in a distorted trigonal-bipyramidal configuration by two N atoms from a 4,4'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand, one O atom from a dimethyl-formamide ligand and two I(-) anions. π-π stacking between pyridine rings of adjacent mol-ecules [centroid-centroid distance = 3.666 (3) and 3.709 (4) Å] stabilizes the three-dimensional structure.
