Abstract
In the binuclear title compound, [Cd2(C2H3O2)4(C12H7N3O2)2], the CdII cations are linked by carboxylate O atoms into a four-membered Cd2O2 rhombic ring with a Cd⋯ Cd separation of 3.7515 (5) Å. Each CdII atom is seven-coordinated by a bidentate 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (5-NO2-phen) ligand and two bidentate acetate anions, one of which also acts as a bridge linking the two Cd atoms. The crystal packing is stabilized by π–π interactions between the phen rings of neighboring molecules, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.491 (2) (intramolecular) and 3.598 (2) Å (intermolecular).

The work presented here is a continuation of our studies on transition metal complexes with 1,10-phenanthroline and its derivatives and carboxylates (Xuan et al 2007a, 2007b, 2008), due to their applications, for example in organic transformations, molecular recognition and organization of molecular solids (Braga et al 1998)
