Abstract: In the title compound, [Cd(C₆H₄O₈S₂)(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)]·H₂O, each Cd^II ion is coordinated by four N atoms [Cd-N = 2.310 (7)-2.341 (7) Å] from two 1,10-phenanthroline ligands, one O atom [Cd-O = 2.300 (6) Å] from a 4,5-dihydroxybenzene-1,3-disulfonate ligand and one aqua O atom [Cd-O = 2.288 (7) Å] in a distorted octahedral geometry. The crystal packing exhibits intermolecular O-HO and C-HO hydrogen bonds and - interactions evidenced by relatively short distances [3.525 (5)-3.937 (6) Å] between the centroids of the six-membered rings of neighbouring molecules.
