Dichlorido(4-methoxy-2-{[2-(piperazin-4-ium-1-yl)ethyl]iminomethyl}phenolate)cadmium

In the title compound, [CdCl2(C14H21N3O2)], the Schiff base ligand chelates the CdII ion in an N,N,O-tridentate fashion. Two Cl atoms complete a distorted square-pyramidal coordination environment around the metal atom. In the crystal, adjacent molecules are linked through C—H...π interactions into infinite chains along the a axis. The molecules are further connected into a three-dimensional network via N—H...O, N—H...Cl and C—H...Cl interactions. The ethylene group is disordered over two sets of sites in a 0.520 (10):0.480 (10) ratio.
