catena-Poly[[bis(dimethylformamide-κO)cadmium]-bis(μ-4-nitrophenylcyanamido-κ2N1:N3)]

In the title coordination polymer, [Cd(C7H4N3O2)2(C3H7NO)2]n, the CdII atom, lying on an inversion center, is six-coordinated in a distorted N4O2 octahedral geometry. The N atoms of the 4-nitrophenylcyanamide anions form the equatorial plane and the O atoms of the dimethylformamide molecules occupy the axial positions. The anions act as bridging ligands, connecting the Cd atoms into a one-dimensional coordination polymer along [100]
