In the title compound, [Cd(C12H8N5)2(H2O)4]·2H2O, the CdII atom is located on an inversion center and is coordinated by the two N atoms [Cd—N = 2.278 (2) Å] and four O atoms [Cd—O = 2.304 (2)–2.322 (2) Å] in a distorted octahedral geometry. Intermolecular O—H⋯O and O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the complex into a three-dimensional supramolecular framework.

Cd(NO3)2.4H2O (0.5 mmol, 0.154 g), 1H-3,5-di(4-pyridyl)-1,2,4-triazole (0.5 mmol, 0.112 g), and water (12 ml) were placed in a 23-ml Teflon-lined Parr bomb. The bomb was heated at 453 K for 3 d. The colourless block-shapped crystals were filtered off and washed with water and acetone (yield 45%, based on Cd).
Hydrogen atoms of water molecules were located in a difference Fourier map and refined with distance restraints of O—H = 0.85 (2) Å and H···H = 1.39 (2) Å, and free isotropic U's. H atoms on C atoms were positoned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.97 Å and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C).

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes. |
Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger. |

The hydrogen bond interaction plays a important role in some biological systems (Deisenhofer & Michel, 1989). Supramolecular assembly through hydrogen bonds has been extensively exploited to generate extended one-, two- and three-dimensional structures (Beatty et al., 2003; Li et al., 2006; Russell & Ward, 1996). As part of this ongoing work, We present here the synthesis and structural characterization of the title cadmium complex, [Cd(C12H8N5)2(H2O)4].2H2O, (I).
The molecule of the title complex, (Fig. 1), is centrosymmetric, so pairs of equivalent ligands lie trans to each other in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry, cis angles deviating from 90° by less than 4°. with Cd—O bond length in the range 2.304 (2)–2.322 (2) Å and a Cd—N bond length of 2.278 (2) Å. These bond distances compare well with those in the literature (Wen et al., 2005; Fu et al., 2007). Molecules are linked by O—H···O and O—H···N hydrogen bonds (Table 1 and Fig. 2).
