Abstract: In the title compound, [Cd(NO₃)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)(H₂O)]_n, each Cd^II ion is surrounded by two N atoms from a 1,10-phenanthroline ligand, and five O atoms from a water molecule and three nitrate anions, with two in bridging mode and one in chelating mode, forming a seven-coordinate CdO₅N₂ environment. Each cadmium(II) center is bridged to two others by two nitrate anions to produce a zigzag chain structure along the [010] direction. O-HO hydrogen-bonding interactions link adjacent chains into a two-dimensional network parallel to (001).
