title: Poly[dibromidobis[μ-1-(pyridin-4-ylmeth-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-κN:N']cadmium].
abstract: The title coordination polymer, [CdBr(2)(C(8)H(8)N(4))(2)](n), arose from a layer-separated diffusion synthesis at room temperature. The title compound is isotypic with the I and Cl analogues. The Cd atom, located on an inversion center, is coordinated by two bromide ions and four N atoms (two from triazole rings and two from pyridyl rings) in a distorted trans-CdBr(2)N(4) octa-hedral arrangement. The bridging 1-(4-pyridyl-meth-yl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole ligands are twisted [dihedral angle between the triazole and pyridine rings = 72.56 (13)°], affording a two-dimensional 4(4) sheet structure in the crystal.
