Poly[(5,5'-dimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine-κN,N')(μ(3)-5-hy-droxy-isophthalato-κO:O,O:O)cadmium].

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [Cd(C(8)H(4)O(5))(C(12)H(12)N(2))], the Cd(II) cation is coordinated by three 5-hy-droxy-isophthalate anions and one 5,5'-bimethyl-2,2'-bipyridine ligand in a distorted CdO(4)N(2) octa-hedral geometry. The 5-hy-droxy-isophthalate anions bridge the Cd cations, forming a two-dimensional polymeric complex parallel to (100). In the complex, the hy-droxy group is linked to the uncoordinated carb-oxy-O atom via an O-H⋯O hydrogen bond. Weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds are also present in the crystal structure. One of the methyl groups is disordered over two positions in a 0.536 (11):0.464 (11) ratio.
