Abstract

In the title complex, [CdCl(2)(C(16)H(12)N(2)O(2))(2)], the Cd(II) ion exhibits site symmetry 2. It shows a distorted tetra-hedral coordination defined by two N atoms from symmetry-related 2-(2-fur-yl)-1-(2-furylmeth-yl)-1H-benzimidazole ligands and by two symmetry-related Cl atoms. Intra-molecular C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds stabilize the mol-ecular configuration. Adjacent mol-ecules are linked through C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds into a network structure.
