Bis[2-(4-hy­droxy­phen­yl)acetato-κO]bis­(1,10-phenanthroline-κ(2) N,N′)cadmium penta­hydrate

In the title compound, [Cd(C(8)H(7)O(3))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]·5H(2)O, the Cd(II) ion is six-coordinated by two carboxylate O atoms of monodentate 2-(4-hy­droxy­phen­yl)acetate ligands and by four N atoms from two chelating 1,10-phenantroline ligands in a distorted trigonal–prismatic geometry. O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds between water mol­ecules and the complex mol­ecules result in the formation of a three-dimensional network. Four water mol­ecules act as single acceptors and double donors while the fifth water mol­ecule is involved as a single acceptor and single donor in an O—H⋯O inter­action and as a donor in an O—H⋯π inter­action.
