title: A one-dimensional zigzag coordination polymer: catena-poly[[[triaqua-cadmium(II)]-[μ-2,2'-(5-methyl-1,3-phenyl-enedi-oxy)diacetato-κO,O':O'',O''']] monohydrate].
abstract: In the title one-dimensional coordination polymer, {[Cd(C(11)H(10)O(6))(H(2)O)(3)]·H(2)O}(n), the 2,2'-(5-methyl-1,3-phenyl-enedi-oxy)diacetate dianions connect Cd(II) ions in a head-to-tail fashion to generate zigzag chains. The coordination geometry of the Cd atom is distorted penta-gonal bipyramidal. There are O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between the carboxyl O atoms, the aqua ligands and the uncoordinated water mol-ecules.
