In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cd(C5H3O3)2(C10H8N2)] n , which was synthesized from the reaction of Cd(ClO4)2·6H2O, furan-2-carboxylic acid and 4,4′-bipyridine in methanol-water, the Cd atom is octa-hedrally coordinated by two N atoms of two bipyridine ligands and four O atoms of four furan-2-carboxyl-ate ligands. The carboxyl-ate group coordinates in a bridging mode; the Cd atom and 4,4′-bipyridine ligand lie on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. The compound exhibits a layer structure arising from the bonding modes...
