W. Zhang, Z. Jiang and L. Lu

Abstract: The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cd(C₁₀H₈N₂)₃](ClO₄)₂·0.5H₂O, consists of one complex [Cd(bpy)₃]²⁺ cation (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridine), two perchlorate anions and one water molecule with half-occupancy. The central cadmium(II) ion is bound to six N atoms from three bpy ligands in a distorted octahedral coordination, with Cd-N bond distances ranging from 2.304 (3) to 2.395 (2) Å.
