| Abstract: A cadmium complex [Cd(cinnamato)2(Phen)]2 was synthesized by the reaction of cinnamic acid, phenanth-roline (phen), and Cd(ClO4)2·6H2O. It crystallizes in triclinic, space group P1, with a=1.142 1(13) nm, b=1.157 6(13) nm, c=2.106 1(2) nm, α=80.307(2)°, β=77.334(2)°, γ=71.630(2)°, V=2.563 4(5) nm3, Dc=1.521 g·cm-3, Z=2, Mr=586.90, μ=0.891 mm-1, F(000)=1 184, the final R=0.031 7, wR=0.067 5. The crystal structure shows that the cadmium ion is coordinated with two nitrogen atoms from one phen molecule and five oxygen atoms respectively from three cinnamic acids, giving a pentagonal bipyramid coordination geometry.
