Abstract

The title dinuclear cadmium complex, [Cd(2)(NO(3))(4)(C(28)H(32)N(6))], is located on an inversion center. The unique Cd(II) ion displays a 5 + 2 coordination. A distorted square-pyramidal geometry is formed by the dipicolyl-amine group of the ligand via the N atoms in a meridional fashion and two O atoms of the nitrate ligands with short Cd-O distances. The coordination is completed by two loosely bound O atoms of the nitrate ligands.
