title: Poly[bis-[μ-1,4-bis-(imidazol-1-yl)butane]dicyanato-cadmium(II)].
abstract: The coordination geometry of the Cd(II) atom in the title complex, [Cd(NCO)(2)(C(10)H(14)N(4))(2)](n) or [Cd(NCO)(2)(bimb)(2)](n), where bimb is 1,4-bis-(imidazol-1-yl)butane, is distorted octa-hedral with the Cd(II) atom located on an inversion center and connected to four N atoms from the imidazole units of four symmetry-related bimb ligands and two O atoms from two symmetry-related NCO(-) ligands. The Cd(II) atoms are bridged by four bimb ligands, forming a two-dimensional (4,4) network.
