X. Zhu, Y. Guo and Y.-L. Zou

Abstract: The coordination geometry of the Cd^II atom in the title complex, [Cd(NCO)₂(C₁₀H₁₄N₄)₂]_n or [Cd(NCO)₂(bimb)₂]_n, where bimb is 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)butane, is distorted octahedral with the Cd^II atom located on an inversion center and connected to four N atoms from the imidazole units of four symmetry-related bimb ligands and two O atoms from two symmetry-related NCO^- ligands. The Cd^II atoms are bridged by four bimb ligands, forming a two-dimensional (4,4) network.
