In the title polymeric compound, [Cd(C9H12O4)(C10H8N2)]n, the CdII atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by two 4,4′-bipyridine ligands and two 2,2-dimethylcyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylate ions. The carboxylate ion and the N-heterocycle both function as bridges to link adjacent CdII atoms to result in the formation of a layer structure parallel to (010). The mid-point of the central C—C bond of the 4,4′-bipyridine ligand is located on an inversion center. In the crystal, the carboxylate ion is disordered over a twofold rotation axis in respect of its methyl group and the cyclopentane ring.

Cadmium nitrate (1 mmol), (+)-camphoric acid (1 mmol), 4,4'-bipyridine (1 mmol) and sodium hydroxide (2 mmol) were mixed in water (8 ml). The mixture was placed in a 23-ml, Teflon-lined, stainless-steel Parr bomb. This was heated at 413 K for 3 days. Colorless crystals were isolated when the bomb was cooled slowly to room temperature.
Carbon-bound H-atoms were placed in calculated positions (C–H 0.93–0.96 Å) and were included in the
in the riding model approximation, with U(H) set to 1.2–1.5U(C).The 2,2-dimethylcyclopentadicarboxylate dianion is disordered over a twofold rotation axis in respect of the methyl groups and the cyclopentane ring; the carboxyl –CO2 unit is ordered. In the disordered part, all carbon-carbon distances were restrained to 1.50 ± 0.01 Å; the anisotropic temperature factors were restrained to be nearly isotropic.
The final difference Fourier map had a peak in the vicinity of H4a and a hole in the vicinity of Cd1.
The temperature factors of the two oxygen atoms are large, but are not significantly larger than that of the carbon atom to which they are connected. The temperature factors of the carbon atoms of the pyridine ring are also somewhat large; splitting the ring as two overlapping rings in a disorder model did not improve the
much.Data collection: RAPID-AUTO (Rigaku, 1998); cell

The compound is the racemic product resulting from the reaction of cadium(II) ions and the deprotonated, optically active (1R,3S)-1,2,2-trimethylcyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylate ion. The 1-methyl group is cleaved under hydrothermal conditions to result in the formation of polymeric Cd(C10H8N2)(C9H12O4) (Scheme I), which is racemic. The carboxylate ion and the N-heterocycle both function as bridges to link adjacent six-coordinate CdII atoms to result in the formation of a layer structure (Fig. 1). Racemic 2,2-dimethylcyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid is not known in the chemical literature; (1R,3S)-,2,2-trimethylcyclopentane-1,3-dicarboxylic acid is known as apocamphoric acid; its synthesis involves several steps (Adhya et al., 1956; Camps & Jaime, 1981).
