title: catena-Poly[trimethyl-phenyl-ammonium [[bromidocad-mate(II)]-μ-bromido-μ-chlorido]].
abstract: In the title salt, (C(9)H(14)N)[CdBr(2)Cl], the Cd(II) atom is five-coordinated in a trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environment. All three of the halogen sites show disorder as a result of substitution of Cl for Br or Br for Cl. Two of the three halogen atoms are involved in bridging a pair of Cd(II) atoms, generating a linear polyanionic chain motif.
