Background: Levels fulfilling the seniority scheme and relevant isomers are commonly observed features in semimagic nuclei; for example, in Sn isotopes (Z = 50). Seniority isomers in Sn, with dominantly pure neutron configurations, directly probe the underlying neutron-neutron (νν) interaction. Furthermore, an addition of a valence proton particle or hole, through neutron-proton (νπ) interaction, affects the neutron seniority as well as the angular momentum.

The synthesis and X-ray characterization of two N,N′-dimethylvioluric acid (1) derivatives of formula [Cd(DMV)2(benzim)2] (2) (benzim = benzimidazole) and [Cd(H2O)4(py)2](DMV)2 (3) (py = pyridine) are reported.
