Description
Summary:The 4,4′-bipyridine heterocycle in the polymeric title compound, [Cd(C16H13O3)2(C10H8N2)(H2O)]n, links adjacent Cd(II) ions into a chain running along the c axis. The Cd atom, which lies on a twofold rotation axis, is chelated by the carboxylate unit and exists in a seven-coordinate pentagonal–bipyramidal geometry. The apical sites are occupied by N atoms. The water molecule also lies on the twofold rotation axis. The methyl substituent of the propanoate group is disordered over two positions in a 1:1 ratio. O—H...O hydrogen bonding between water molecules and adjacent carboxylate O atoms is observed.
