Abstract: In the title compound, [Cd₂(C₇H₄O₆S)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₄]·H₂O, the Cd^II atoms are bridged by two 5-sulfonatosalicylate dianions, forming a centrosymmetric dinuclear complex. Each Cd atom is coordinated by four N atoms from two 1,10-phenanthroline molecules and two O atoms from two 5-sulfonatosalicylate ligands in a distorted octahedral environment. A strong - stacking interaction occurs between 1,10-phenanthroline ligands from neighboring dimers. Extensive hydrogen bonds give rise to a two-dimensional network and enhance the stability of the crystal packing.
