Diaqua(nitrato-κ2O,O′)[2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl-κN2)-1,10-phenanthroline-κ2N,N′]cadmium(II) nitrate

In the title complex, [Cd(C14H9N5)(NO3)(H2O)2]NO3, the CdII ion is coordinated in a distorted pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry. The equatorial sites are occupied by a 2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-1,10-phenanthroline ligand in a tridentate coordination mode and a bis-chelating nitrate ligand. Two aqua ligands are coordinated at the axial sites. All non-H atoms in the equatorial plane are co-planar within 0.0673 Å. In the crystal, intermolecular O—H...O and O—H...N hydrogen bonds connect the components into a two-dimensional network parallel to (001). In addition, there is a π–π stacking interaction between symmetry-related benzene rings, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.598 (3) Å.
