Abstract: The title complex, {[Cd₃(C₄H₄O₄)₃(C₁₂H₈N₂)₃]·4H₂O}_n, has been isolated from the hydrothermal reaction of cadmium acetate with 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) and succinic acid. The structure features two-dimensional networks formed by succinate ligands bridging Cd atoms in two different coordination modes. A twofold rotation axis passes through one Cd atom. In one coordination mode, the Cd atoms are in a distorted octahedral CdO₄N₂ arrangement and the coordination atoms come from one phen ligand and two succinate ligands. In the other coordination mode, the Cd atoms are in the decahedral CdO₅N₂ geometries and the coordination atoms come from one phen ligand and three succinate ligands.
