Diaqua­bis­{1-[(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)meth­yl]-1H-imidazole-κN (3)}dichlorido­cadmium hexa­hydrate

In the title complex, [CdCl(2)(C(11)H(10)N(4))(2)(H(2)O)(2)]·6H(2)O, the Cd(II) atom is located on a twofold rotation axis and is coordinated by two N atoms from two 1-[(1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)meth­yl]-1H-imidazole ligands and two water O atoms in equatorial positions and by two Cl atoms in axial positions, leading to an elongated octa­hedral environment. The two coordinating and two of the lattice water mol­ecules are also located on twofold rotation axes. In the crystal, complex mol­ecules and solvent water mol­ecules are linked through a complex inter­molecular N—H⋯O, O—H⋯N, O—H⋯O and O—H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding scheme into a three-dimensional network.
