In the title compound, [Cd(C2H8N2) 2(H2O)2](C10H8NO 3S)2·-2H2O, the CdII atom, located on an inversion centre, has a distorted octahedral coordination geometry formed by two ethylenediamine and two water molecules. 4-Aminonaphthalene-1- sulfonate acts as a counter-ion to balance the charge, and two antiparallel anions showing strong π-πstacking interactions are linked by paired N - H&mellip;O(sulfonate) hydrogen bonds into an isolated R2 2(16) dimer. The crystal structure is stabilized by the π-πstacking interactions and hydrogen bonds. ©2006 International Union of Cryst...
