In the asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cd(C20H22N2O4)(H2O)2] ·2.5H2O, there are five water molecules and two independent mononuclear complex mol-ecules in which the CdII ions are in distorted octa-hedral coordination environments, defined by N2O4 donor sets. In the crystal structure, extensive hydrogen bonding links mol-ecules into one-dimensional chains along the b axi...
