Abstract: In the title compound, [CdCl₂(C₃H₇NO₂)]_n, the -alanine residues exist in the zwitterionic form. The Cd atoms are coordinated by four Cl atoms and two O atoms, forming a distorted octahedral environment. These octahedra are linked through Cl-Cl edges and are bridged by the carboxyl groups of the -alanine residues, to form a one-dimensional polymer chain that extends along [100].
