A new dabco-templated metal sulfate: 1,4-diazo­niabicyclo­[2.2.2]octane hexa­aqua­cadmium bis­(sulfate)

The title double mol­ecular salt, (C(6)H(14)N(2))[Cd(H(2)O)(6)](SO(4))(2), is an isostructure of its Mn and Co analogues. The Cd(II) atom adopts a near-regular CdO(6) octa­hedral coordination geometry. The crystal structure can be described as an alternation of cationic and anionic layers along [010], and numerous O—H⋯O and N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed. No thermal anomalies corresponding to possible phase transitions were observed in DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) measurements and the 93 K structure is almost the same as the room-temperature structure.
