The title complex, [Cd(C6H17N3)2](ClO4)(NO3), was synthesized by the reaction of Cd(NO3)2·4H2O, bis(3-aminopropyl)amine and sodium perchlorate in methanol. The asymmetric unit of the title complex consists of one Cd2+ cation, two tridentate bis(3-aminopropyl)amine ligands, one nitrate anion and one perchlorate anion. The Cd2+ cation is coordinated by six N atoms of the bis(3-aminopropyl)amine ligands in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry. In the crystal, molecules are held together by an intricate network of N—H⋯O interactions. One of the two amine ligands was found to be disordered over two sets of sites, with a ratio of 0.802 (3):0.198 (3), similarly to the nitrate anion, with a ratio of 0.762 (10):0.238 (10).
