Abstract: The title complex, [Cd(4-FBA)₂(H₂O)₃]·3.5H₂O (4-FBA^- is the 4-formylbenzoate monoanion, C₈H₅O₃), is a neutral mononuclear molecule consisting of a Cd^II atom, two 4-FBA^- ligands and three coordinated water molecules, together with three and a half uncoordinated water molecules. One uncoordinated water O atom lies on a twofold rotation axis. The Cd^II atom displays a distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry, defined by four carboxylate O atoms of two different 4-FBA^- groups and three water molecules. A three-dimensional supramolecular network is formed by intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
