metal-organic compounds
In the title compound, catena-poly[[bis(1,10-phenanthroline)cadmium(II)]-μ-tetraoxomolybdato], {[CdMoO4(C12H8N2)2]·H2O}n, the CdII ion has a distorted octahedral geometry, defined by four N atoms of two chelating phen (phenanthroline) ligands and two O atoms from two MoO4 tetrahedra. The MoVI atom has a distorted tetrahedral geometry, defined by two terminal O atoms and two bridging (to Cd) O atoms. The compound exhibits a one-dimensional corrugated chain structure, and is further extended into a three-dimensional inorganic–organic hybrid compound via hydrogen-bonding and weaker π–π bonding interactions.
