Bis[μ-4-(dimethyl-amino)-benzoato]-κO,O':O;κO:O,O'-bis-{aqua-[4-(dimethyl-amino)-benzoato-κO,O'](nicotinamide-κN)cadmium(II)}.

In the centrosymmetric dimeric Cd(II) title compound, [Cd(2)(C(9)H(10)NO(2))(4)(C(6)H(6)N(2)O)(2)(H(2)O)(2)], each seven-coordin-ated Cd(II) atom is chelated by the carboxyl-ate groups of the two 4-(dimethyl-amino)-benzoate (DMAB) anions; the two monomeric units are bridged through the two O atoms of the two carboxyl groups. In the crystal structure, inter-molecular O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the mol-ecules into a three-dimensional network. π-π contacts between the pyridine rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.974 (1) Å] may further stabilize the structure. Weak C-H⋯π inter-actions are also observed.
