Di-μ-nitrito-κO:O,O';κO,O':O-bis-{[2,6-bis-(pyrazol-1-yl-κN)pyridine-κN](nitrito-κO,O')cadmium(II)}.

In the title centrosymmetric binuclear complex, [Cd(2)(NO(2))(4)(C(11)H(9)N(5))(2)], the unique Cd(II) ion is in a distorted dodeca-hedral CdN(3)O(5) coordination environment. The two inversion-related Cd(II) ions are separated by 3.9920†(6)†à and are bridged by two O atoms from two nitrite ligands. There are two types of π-π stacking inter-actions involving symmetry-related pyrazole rings, with centroid-centroid distances of 3.445†(2) and 3.431†(2)†à .
