G. A. Farnum and R. L. LaDuca

Abstract: In the title compound, [Cd(ClO₄)₂(C₁₅H₁₈N₄)₄], the Cd^II ion is coordinated in a slightly distorted octahedral environment by two trans monodentate perchlorate ligands and four 1-(2-pyridyl)-4-(4-pyridylmethyl)piperazine (pmpp) ligands. In the crystal structure, molecules are organized into layers parallel to the ab plane by C-HO interactions. Similar interactions promote the stacking of these layers into the three-dimensional crystal structure.
