In the neutral complex [Cd(C 6 F 5 ) 2 ], the Cd atom is coordinated to two pentafluorophenyl ligands. The Cd-C bond lengths are 2.109 (3) and 2.111 (3) A. The molecule is slightly bent at the metal atom [C-Cd-C 173.9 (1) o ]. The angle between the aromatic rings of the ligands is 76.6 o . There are no Cd...F contacts shorter than the van der Waals distance
