In the title compound, [CdL2(H2O)4]·2H2O [L = (1-ammonio-1-phosphonoethyl)phosphonate, C2H8NO6P2−], the CdII ion is situated on an inversion centre being coordinated by four aqua molecules in the equatorial plane and two phosphonate O atoms from two deprotonated L ligands in the axial positions in a distorted octahedral geometry. The contains one-half of the complex molecule and one lattice water molecule. The ligand L exists in a zwitterionic form, with a positive charge on the NH3 group and a negative charge on the O atom of the non-coordinating phosphonate group, and with an intramolecular O—H⋯O interaction forming an S(6) ring motif and two intramolecular N—H⋯O interactions each generating an S(5) ring motif. In the crystal, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the complex molecules into a three-dimensional network in which the voids of 38 Å3 are filled with ordered lattice water molecules, which are also involved in O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding.

1. Chemical context
As a result of of their inhibitory effect on bone resorption, various types of bisphosphonates are used in the treatment of bone metastasis and several bone disorders such as Paget's disease, and for the prevention of osteoporosis in post-menopausal women (Shaw & Bishop, 2005). Drugs prepared on the basis of bisphosphonates are highly efficient as a regulator of calcium metabolism and the they are used as anti-neoplastic, anti-inflammatory and antiviral agents, drugs with analgesic effect and, as a component of toothpastes, biphosphonates prevent the formation of tartar (Matkovskaya et al., 2001). Organic diphosphonic acids are potentially very powerful chelating agents, used in metal extractions and have been tested by the pharmaceutical industry for use as efficient drugs preventing calcification and inhibiting bone resorption (Matczak-Jon & Videnova-Adrabińska, 2005). Diphosphonic acids and their metal complexes are used in the treatment of Paget's disease, osteoporosis and tumoral osteolysis (Szabo et al., 2002). However, it is still not clearly understood why small structural modification of bisphosphonates may lead to extensive alterations in their physicochemical, biological and toxicological characteristics (Matczak-Jon & Videnova-Adrabińska, 2005). Therefore, the of bisphosphonates is very important in order to understand the influence of structural modifications on their complex-forming abilities and physiological activities.
2. Structural commentary
The (Fig. 1), contains one half of the complex molecule [CdL2(H2O)4] [L = (1-ammonio-1-phosphonoethyl)phosphonate] and one lattice water molecule. All bond lengths and angles in (I) are normal and correspond to those observed in bisphosphonate complexes with transition metals (Shkol'nikova et al., 1991; Sergienko et al., 1997, 1999; Yin et al., 2005; Li et al., 2006; Li & Sun, 2007; Lin et al., 2007; Xiang et al., 2007; Dudko et al., 2009, 2010; Bon et al., 2010; Tsaryk et al., 2010, 2011). The CdII atom occupies a special position on an inversion centre and shows a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment formed by two phosphonic O atoms in trans positions and four aqua O atoms in the equatorial plane. The distorted octahedral is slightly compressed in the axial direction; the Cd1—O2 bond length is 0.1 Å shorter than the Cd1—O1W and Cd1—O2W bonds. The values of the axial O—Cd—O angles are in the range 80.1 (4)–99.9 (4)°, indicating a significant deviation from ideal values. The ligand L exists in a zwitterionic form, with a positive charge on the NH3 group and a negative charge on the O atom of the non-coordinating phosphonate group, and with an intramolecular O—H⋯O interaction forming an S(6) ring motif and two intramolecular N—H⋯O interactions each generating an S(5) ring motif (Table 1).

The crystal packing is illustrated in Fig. 2 as a projection of the along the b axis. Intermolecular N—H⋯O and O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds (Table 1) link complex molecules into a three-dimensional network in which the voids of 38 Å3 are filled with ordered lattice water molecules, which are also involved in O—H⋯O hydrogen bonding (Table 1 and Fig. 2).
4. Synthesis and crystallization
All reactions and manipulations were carried out in air with reagent grade solvents. 1-Aminoethane-1,1-diyldiphosphonic acid was prepared according to the literature method of Rukiah & Assaad (2013). The title compound (I) was prepared by adding 10 ml of an 0.01 M CdCl2 aqueous solution to 10 ml of a 0.02 M water solution of 1-aminoethane-1,1-diyldiphosphonic acid. A crude product was obtained after two weeks of slow evaporation of the resulted solution. It was further purified by recrystallization from ethanol and water (1:3 v/v) at 273 K to produce the title compound (I) (white powder; m.p. > 623 K) in 80% yield. The IR spectrum was recorded on a Jasco FT–IR 300E instrument and the 1H and 13C{1H} NMR spectra were recorded on a Bruker Bio spin 400 spectrometer.
1H NMR (D2O, p.p.m.): δ 1.67 (t, 3H, CH3, J = 14 Hz). 13C{1H} NMR (D2O, p.p.m.): δ 20.5 (1C; CH3), 54.7 (1C; C—CH3). 31P{1H} NMR (D2O, p.p.m.): δ 13.61(2P; P—OH). IR (KBr, ν cm−1): 3446.2 (NH3), 2351.5 (POH), 1605.0 (O=P—O—H).
5. Refinement
Crystal data, data collection and structure . Compound (I) has a tendency to crystallize in the form of a very fine white powder. Since no single crystals of sufficient size and quality could be obtained, a determination from laboratory powder X-ray diffraction data was performed. The powder sample was ground slightly in a mortar, loaded into two Mylar foils and fixed onto the sample holder with a mask of suitable internal diameter (8.0 mm). The powder X-ray diffraction data were collected at room temperature with a STOE transmission STADI-P diffractometer using CuKα1 radiation (λ= 1.54060 Å) selected with an incident-beam curved-crystal Ge(111) monochromator with a linear position-sensitive detector (PSD). The pattern was scanned over the angular range 6.0–90.0° (2θ). For pattern indexing, extraction of the peak positions was carried out with the program WinPLOTR (Roisnel & Rodríguez-Carvajal, 2001). Pattern indexing was performed with the program DICVOL4.0 (Boultif & Louër, 2004). The first 20 intense peaks of the powder pattern were indexed completely on the basis of a monoclinic cell. The figures of merit (de Wolff et al., 1968; Smith & Snyder, 1979) are sufficiently acceptable to support the obtained indexing results [M(20) = 37.1, F(20) = 78.5(0.0061, 42)]. The best estimated monoclinic was P21/c.

The powder pattern was subsequently refined with cell and resolution constraints (Le Bail et al., 1988) using the profile-matching option of the program FULLPROF (Rodríguez-Carvajal, 2001). The number of molecules per was estimated to be Z = 2. The initial was determined by using the program EXPO2014 (Altomare et al., 2013). The model found by this program was introduced into the program GSAS (Larson & Von Dreele, 2004) implemented in EXPGUI (Toby, 2001) for The background was refined using a shifted Chebyshev polynomial with 20 coefficients. The effect of the asymmetry of the low-order peaks was corrected using a pseudo-Voigt description of the peak shape (Thompson et al., 1987), angle-dependent asymmetry with axial divergence (Finger et al., 1994) and microstrain broadening (Stephens, 1999). Two asymmetry parameters of this function, S/L and D/L, were both fixed at 0.0225 during this Intensities were corrected for absorption effects with a function for a plate sample in transmission geometry with μ·d value of 0.7585 (μ is the and d is the sample thickness). These μ·d values were determined experimentally. The was modelled with 12 coefficients using a spherical harmonics correction (Von Dreele, 1997) of intensities. The use of the correction leads to a better molecular geometry with better agreement factors. The value of obtained median texture index (1.0654) and the agreement factors in the without texture correction (Rp = 0.053, Rwp = 0.073, Rexp = 0.025, R(F2) = 0.011009 and χ2 = 8.940) indicate that the improvement of the is considerable.
Before the final 3 and NH3 groups were introduced on the basis of geometrical arguments. The hydroxy and water H atoms were located using the program HYDROGEN (Nardelli, 1999) implemented in WinGX (Farrugia, 2012). The coordinates of all H atoms were refined with very strict soft restraints on bond lengths and angle until a suitable geometry was obtained, after that they were fixed in the final stage of the Four restraints for the central carbon atom (C—CH3, C—NH3 and two C—PO3) on bond lengths were applied to normal values for these bonds. The final cycles were performed varying isotropic displacement parameters for Cd and water O atoms, and fixed isotropic displacement parameters for P, C, N,O and H atoms. The final Rietveld plot is shown in Fig. 3.
