title: catena-Poly[[tetra-aqua-cadmium]-μ-5,5'-(1,4-phenyl-ene)di(tetra-zol-2-ido)-κ(2) N (2):N (2')].
abstract: In the title compound, [Cd(C8H4N8)(H2O)4] n , 5,5'-(1,4-phenyl-ene)di(tetra-zol-2-ide) (L) ligands bridge Cd(II) atoms into polymeric chains along [201]. The Cd(II) atom is situated on an inversion centre and is coordinated by two N atoms from two L ligands and by four water O atoms in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the L ligand, the benzene ring resides on an inversion centre and the tetra-zole rings are twisted from its plane by 22.3 (1)°. An extensive hydrogen-bonding network formed by classical O-H⋯N and O-H⋯O inter-actions consolidates the crystal packing, linking the poymeric chains into a three-dimensional structure.
