摘要

There are three independent CdII ions in the title complex, {[Cd3(C10H3O8)2(H2O)4]·4H2O}n, one of which is coordinated by four O atoms from three 5-carboxybenzene-1,2,4-tri­carboxyl­ate ligands and by two water mol­ecules in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The second CdII ion is coordinated by five O atoms from four 5-carboxybenzene-1,2,4-tri­carboxyl­ate ligands and by one water mol­ecule also in a distorted octa­hedral geometry while the third CdII ion is coordinated by five O atoms from three 5-carboxybenzene-1,2,4-tri­carboxyl­ate ligands and by one water mol­ecule in a highly distorted octa­hedral geometry. The 5-carboxybenzene-1,2,4-tri­carboxyl­ate ligands bridge the CdII ions, resulting in the formation of a three-dimensional structure. Intra- and inter­molecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are present throughout the three-dimensional structure.
