title: Poly[bis-(μ(2)-benzyl-oxyacetato-κO,O':O'')cadmium(II)].
abstract: The title cadmium derivative of benzyl-oxyacetic acid, [Cd(C(9)H(9)O(3))(2)](n), exists as a μ(2)-carboxyl-ate-bridged layer network. Two benzyl-oxyacetate units each chelate the metal through a carboxylate as well as through the ether O atoms; the metal is also coordinated by the double-bond carbonyl O atom of two adjacent benzyl-oxyacetate units in an octa-hedral geometry. The metal atom lies on a special position of 2 site symmetry. The phenyl group is disordered equally over two positions.
