The reaction of CdCl(2), 18-crown-6 and KI in water yields the title coordination polymer, [{K(C(12)H(24)O(6))}(2)Cd(2)I(6)](n). The potassium ion lies approximately in the plane of the crown ether, coordinated by all six crown ether O atoms and also by an iodide anion bound to a cadmium atom. A C atom of the crown ether is disordered over two positions with site occupancies of 0.77 (2) and 0.23 (2). Two K(18-crown-6)(+) units are linked by inversion symmetry, forming a [bis-(μ(2)-18-crown-6)dip ...[more]
