Abstract: The crystal structure of the title compound, [Cd(NTB)(NO₃)₂] [NTB is tris(2-benzimidazolylmethyl)amine, C₂₄H₂₁N₇], contains a neutral monomeric cadmium(II) unit. The cadmium(II) ion is coordinated by four N atoms from the NTB ligand and three O atoms from the two nitrate anions. The coordination polyhedron for each Cd atom can be regarded as distorted pentagonal bipyramidal.
