biostudies-literatureUnknown66(Pt 1)Nather CThe crystal structure of the title compound, [Cd(2)Cl(2)(C(2)H(8)N(2))(4)]Cl(2), consists of binuclear centrosymmetric [Cd(2)(C(2)H(8)N(2))(4)Cl(2)](2+) cations and discrete chloride anions. The Cd(II) cation is coordinated by four N atoms of two ethyl-enediamine ligands and two symmetry-related chloride anions within a distorted CdN(4)Cl(2) octa-hedron. Two Cd(II) cations are connected by two chloride anions via μ(2)-coordination, forming a four-membered Cd(2)Cl(2) ring. The uncoordinated chloride anions are linked to the amino groups via N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding. Two C atoms of one of the two crystallographically independent ethyl-enediamine ligands are disordered and were refined using a split model [occupancy ratio 0.674 (9):0.326 (9)].Acta crystallographica.
