title: A coordination polymer of Cd with benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl-ate and 1,4-bis-[1-(2-pyridylmeth-yl)benzimidazol-2-yl]butane.
abstract: The title Cd(II) coordination polymer, catena-poly[[{1,4-bis-[1-(2-pyridylmeth-yl)benzimidazol-2-yl]butane}cadmium(II)]-μ-benzene-1,3-dicarboxyl-ato], [Cd(C(8)H(4)O(4))(C(30)H(28)N(6))](n), was obtained by reaction of CdCO(3), benzene-1,3-dicarboxylic acid (H(2)btc) and 1,4-bis-[1-(2-pyridylmeth-yl)benzimidazol-2-yl]butane (L). The Cd(II) cation is six-coordinated by an N(2)O(4)-donor set. L acts as a bidentate ligand and btc anions link Cd(II) centers into a chain propagating parallel to [010].
