Abstract: Both carboxylate groups chelate to the Cd atom in the title compound, [Cd(C₉H₇O₃)₂(C₆H₁₂N₄)₂(H₂O)]·3H₂O. The four O atoms involved in chelation and one water molecule form a pentagonal plane around the Cd atom, while the N atoms of the hexamethylenetetramine ligands occupy the axial sites of the pentagonal bipyramid. Hydrogen bonds link the molecules of the complex with the solvent water molecules to form a three-dimensional network.
