In the title complex, {[Cd(C9H8NO4)2(H2O)2]·4H2O}n, the CdII atom (site symmetry 2) is coordinated by six O atoms from four crystallographically related 1-(1,2-dicarboxylate)pyridin-1-ium ligands (L) and from two water molecules in a distorted octahedral geometry. Paired L ligands connect CdII atoms into a chain motif parallel to [001], which is further interlinked by O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional supramolecular net.

A water solution (8 ml) containing CdCl2(18.4 mg, 0.1 mmol) and 1-(1,2-dicarboxyethyl)pyridin-1-ium chloride (23.1 mg, 0.1 mmol) was heated to 373 K for 24 h and subsequently cooled to room temperature at a rate of 1 K/h. Colorless block shape crystals were obtained.
All H atoms were initially located in a difference Fourier map. The C—H atoms were then constrained to an ideal geometry, with C—H distance of 0.93 Å, and Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C). The O-bound hydrogen atoms were first located in difference Fourier maps, and then fixed in calculated sites, with d(O—H) = 0.84–0.90Å.
Versatile ligands involving pyridyl and carboxylate groups have been proven to be effective building tectons of supramolecular lattice in the field of inorganic-organic coordination chemistry (Batten, 2001; Kitagawa & Matsuda, 2007).
In this paper, 1-(1,2-dicarboxyethyl)pyridin-1-ium chloride was employed as a bridging ligand to assemble with CdII into a one-dimensional polymeric chain motif, in which the coordination geometry of CdII can be portrayed as a distorted octahedron (CdO6) (Fig. 1). With the aid of the two monodentate carboxylates of L, the adjacent CdII ions are further interlinked to afford a chain motif along the [001] direction (Fig. 2). Additionally, strong O—H···O bonds are found between the coordinated water ligands, carboxylates, and lattice water molecules, to generating a complicated three-dimensional supramoleculecular lattice (Fig. 3).
For ligands including pyridyl and carboxylate groups as building tectons of the supramolecular lattice in inorganic–organic coordination chemistry, see: Batten (2001); Kitagawa & Matsuda (2007). Scheme should show uncoordinated water. Coordinated waters should be linked through O atoms (not H as shown)

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. |

Versatile ligands involving pyridyl and carboxylate groups have been proven to be effective building tectons of supramolecular lattice in the field of inorganic-organic coordination chemistry (Batten, 2001; Kitagawa & Matsuda, 2007).
In this paper, 1-(1,2-dicarboxyethyl)pyridin-1-ium chloride was employed as a bridging ligand to assemble with CdII into a one-dimensional polymeric chain motif, in which the coordination geometry of CdII can be portrayed as a distorted octahedron (CdO6) (Fig. 1). With the aid of the two monodentate carboxylates of L, the adjacent CdII ions are further interlinked to afford a chain motif along the [001] direction (Fig. 2). Additionally, strong O—H···O bonds are found between the coordinated water ligands, carboxylates, and lattice water molecules, to generating a complicated three-dimensional supramoleculecular lattice (Fig. 3).
