Abstrakt: X‐ray diffraction shows that the title cadmium(II) complex, [Cd2(C14H20O2)2(C5H5N)6]·2C5H5N, has a dimeric structure in which two (py)3Cd(3,5‐di‐tert‐butylcatecholate) units (py is pyridine) are connected by two bridging O atoms, the coordination of the Cd atoms being distorted octahedral. There are two symmetrically independent dimers in the crystal structure; one is in a general position and the other lies about an inversion centre. In both cases, the bridging Cd—O distances between the Cd–catecholate units [2.224 (2)–2.237 (2) Å] are shorter than the bridging Cd—O distances within the catecholate cycle [2.273 (2)–2.281 (2) Å]. The Cd—Npydistances are 2.354 (2)–2.471 (2) Å. Besides the main mol­ecules, the crystal also contains pyridine solvate mol­ecules.
