Bis[4-hydr-oxy-N'-(4-meth-oxy-2-oxido-benzyl-idene-κO)benzohydrazidato-κO,N']cadmium(II) dimethyl sulfoxide disolvate

The metal atom in the title compound, [Cd(C(15)H(13)N(2)O(4))(2)]·2C(2)H(6)OS, is twice O,N,O'-chelated by two symmetry-related Schiff base ligands to define a trans-N(2)O(4) octa-hedral geometry. Each anion occupies meridional sites of the octa-hedron; the metal atom lies on a special position of site symmetry 2. The dimethyl sulfoxide mol-ecule is a hydrogen-bond acceptor to the -NH- unit, and O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link mol-ecules into a supra-molecular chain.
