Bis(8-amino-quinoline-k² N,N′)diperchloratocadmium(II)

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cd(ClO4)2(C9H8N2)2], the Cd atom is coordinated by four N atoms of two 8-amino-quinoline ligands and two O atoms of two perchlorate anions, within a strongly distorted octa-hedron and with the Cd atom located on a centre of inversion. These complexes are connected via N - H⋯O hydrogen bonding into a channel structure.
