Diaquabis[N-(2-pyridylmethyl)benzamide-κ2N,O]cadmium(II) dinitrate

Abstract

In the title compound, [Cd(C13H12N2O)2(H2O)2](NO3)2, the Cd atom, located on a twofold rotation axis, is octa­hedrally coordinated by O and N atoms from two benzamide ligands, and two O atoms from water mol­ecules also located on the twofold axis. Mol­ecules are linked into chains along the b axis by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The packing is further stabilized into a three-dimensional framework by N—H⋯O inter­action.
