Abstract: In the title compound, [Cd(m-BDC)(L)], where m-BDC is the benzene-1,3-dicarboxylate dianion (C₈H₄O₄^2-) and L is 2-phenyl-1H-1,3,7,8,-tetraazacyclopenta[l]phenanthrene (C₁₉H₁₂N₄), the Cd^II atom is six-coordinated by one bidenatate L, one bidentate m-BDC and two monodentate m-BDC ligands, resulting in a very distorted cis-CdN₂O₄ octahedral coordination geometry. The Cd^II atoms are bridged by the m-BDC ligands to form an unusual double-chain structure. In addition, neighboring double chains interact through - interactions, resulting in a two-dimensional network.
