Abstract: In the title complex, [Cd(C₂F₃O₂)(NO₃)(C₁₀H₈N₂)₂], the Cd(II) ion is heptacoordinated by two chelating 2,2'-bipyridyl ligands [CdN 2.370 (6)-2.416 (6) Å], one carboxylate O atom [CdO 2.290 (6) Å] from the trifluoroacetate ligand and two O atoms [CdO 2.386 (6), 2.633 (6) Å] from a chelating nitrate anion. The trifluoromethyl fragment is rotationally disordered between two orientations in a 0.640 (7):0.360 (7) ratio. In the crystal, weak intermolecular C-HO hydrogen bonds contribute to the crystal packing stability.
