title: Poly[dichloridobis[μ-1-(4-pyridyl-meth-yl)-1,2,4-triazole]cadmium(II)].
abstract: In the title coordination polymer, [CdCl(2)(C(8)H(8)N(4))(2)](n), the Cd(II) atom, lying on an inversion center, is coordinated by two Cl atoms and two triazole N atoms and two pyridyl N atoms from four 1-(4-pyridyl-meth-yl)-1,2,4-triazole (pmta) ligands in a distorted trans-CdCl(2)N(4) octa-hedral arrangement. The bridg-ing pmta ligands, with a dihedral angle between the triazole and pyridyl rings of 71.86 (8)°, link the Cd atoms into a 4(4) sheet parallel to (02). π-π inter-actions between the triazole rings [centroid-centroid distance = 3.428 (2) Å] connect the sheets.
