Abstract: In the centrosymmetric binuclear title complex, [Cd₂(C₆H₈O₄)(NO₃)₂(C₁₄H₁₂N₂)₂(H₂O)₂], each Cd atom is seven-coordinated in a CdO₅N₂ environment with a distorted petagonal-bipyramidal geometry. The water molecules act as both donors and acceptors in O-HO hydrogen bonds, interconnecting the molecules into double chains along the b axis. The packing is further stabilized by - interactions between the phenanthroline ring systems.
