Bis[N-(3-amino­prop­yl)propane-1,3-di­amine-κ(3) N,N′,N′′]cadmium nitrate perchlorate

The title complex, [Cd(C(6)H(17)N(3))(2)](ClO(4))(NO(3)), was synthesized by the reaction of Cd(NO(3))(2)·4H(2)O, bis­(3-amino­prop­yl)­amine and sodium perchlorate in methanol. The asymmetric unit of the title complex consists of one Cd(2+) cation, two tridentate bis­(3-amino­prop­yl)amine ligands, one nitrate anion and one perchlorate anion. The Cd(2+) cation is coordinated by six N atoms of the bis­(3-amino­prop­yl)amine ligands in a slightly distorted octa­hedral coordination geometry. In the crystal, mol­ecules are held together by an intricate network of N—H⋯O inter­actions. One of the two amine ligands was found to be disordered over two sets of sites, with a ratio of 0.802 (3):0.198 (3), similarly to the nitrate anion, with a ratio of 0.762 (10):0.238 (10).
