Abstract: The dinuclear dication in the title compound, [Cd₂(ClO₄)₂(C₁₇H₁₄N₄)₄(H₂O)₂](ClO₄)₂·2CH₄O, lies on a twofold rotation axis as the two N,2-di-3-pyridylisoindoline-1-imine N-heterocycles function in ₂-bridging modes. Aside from the four N atoms, the Cd atom is also linked to the water and perchlorate O atoms, the O atoms being cis to each other in an octahedral geometry. The charge is balanced by two perchlorate ions; these interact weakly with the coordinated water and uncoordinated methanol molecules.
