Bis(2,2'-bipyridine-κ(2)N,N')bis-(dicyan-amido-κN(1))cadmium.

In the title compound, [Cd(C(2)N(3))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))(2)], the Cd(II) ion is coordinated in a distorted octa-hedral environment by four N atoms from two chelating 2,2'-bipyridine ligands and two N atoms from two monodentate dicyanamide ligands. The dihedral angle between the mean planes of the two bipyridine ligands is 87.67 (6)°.
