Aqua(2,2′-bipyridine-κ 2 N , N ′)bis(4-formylbenzoato-κ 2 O , O ′)cadmium(II) monohydrate

In the mononuclear title compound, [Cd(C8H5O3)2(C10H8N2)(H2O)]·H2O, the Cd atom is O,O′-chelated by two 4-formyl­benzoate monoanions and N,N′-chelated by 2,2′-bipyridine. It is also coordinated by a water mol­ecule in a monocapped trigonal-prismatic geometry. The coordinated and solvent water mol­ecules and O atoms of the monoanions engage in hydrogen bonding, resulting in a chain running along the b axis of the monoclinic unit cell.
