Abstract: In the title compound, [Cd(C₇H₅O₃)₂(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]·2H₂O, the Cd^II ion is located on a twofold axis and assumes a distorted octahedral CdN₄O₂ coordination geometry, formed by two phenanthroline (phen) ligands and two 4-hydroxybenzoate (HBA) anions. - stacking is observed between the parallel phen ligands of adjacent Cd^II complexes. One water O atom is located on a twofold axis. The other water molecule is disordered over two sites.
