The first X-ray structure of a hexaamminecobalt(III) salt with two different complex chlorocadmium anions: synthesis, characterization and crystal structure of [Co(NH3)(6)](4)-[CdCl6][CdCl4(SCN)(H2O)](2)Cl-2 center dot 2H(2)O

In the title complex salt, tetrakis[ hexaamminecobalt(III)] hexachlorocadmate(II) bis[aquatetrachlorothiocyanatocadmate(II)] dichloride dihydrate, the discrete ions, i.e. [Co(NH3)(6)](3+), Cl-, [CdCl6](4-) (located on an inversion centre) and [CdCl4(SCN)(H2O)](3-), together with cocrystallized water molecules, are assembled by means of a network of hydrogen-bonding interactions. This is the first X-ray structure determination of a hexaamminecobalt(III) salt with two different complex chlorocadmium anions
