The complex [Cd（tfbz）2（phen）]2 （1） （tfbz = 2,4,5-trifluorobenzoate, phen = 1,10-phenanthro-line） was synthesized using trifluorobenzoic acid ligand. The single-crystal structure of I has been determined by X-ray crystallography. The packing structure is characterized by the formation of an intricate three- dimensional supramolecular network that depends on the C-H.-.F, F-.-F, FOp）-.-IT （lp = lone pair） interactions.
