title: Bis(μ-4-methyl-benzoato)-κ(3) O,O':O;κ(3) O:O,O'-bis-[aqua-(4-methyl-benzoato-κ(2) O,O')(nicotinamide-κN (1))cadmium].
abstract: In the dinuclear centrosymmetric title compound, [Cd2(C8H7O2)4(C6H6N2O)2(H2O)2], the Cd(II) ion is chelated by two carboxyl-ate groups from 4-methyl-benzoate anions, and is further coordinated by one nicotinamide and one water mol-ecule; a carboxyl-ate O atom from an adjacent 4-methyl-benzoate anion bridges to the Cd(II) ion, completing the irregular coordination sphere of the seven ligand atoms. In the crystal, inter-molecular O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network. The methyl-benzene moiety of one bridging 4-methyl-benzoate anion is disordered over two orientations of equal occupancy.
