The geometry around the CdII atom is distorted tetra-hedral, with bond angles in the range 94.92 (11)-124.29 (2)°. The iodide anions undergo inter-molecular hydrogen-bonding contacts with the C-H groups of the organic ligands of an adjacent complex mol-ecule, generating a chain structure along the b axis. Furthermore, an extensive series of O-H?O, N-H?O and C-H?O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions involving both the complex mol-ecules and the ethanol solvate mol-ecules generate a three-dimensional network.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesscadmiumcrystal structurehydrazone-based ligandhydrogen bondingArticle732830
