Abstract: In the title compound, poly[cadmium(II)-₄-m-phenylenebis(oxyacetato)], [Cd(C₁₀H₈O₆)]_n, the Cd^II atom exists in a distorted monocapped octahedral coordination environment with seven O atoms from four carboxylate groups. The Cd atoms are bridged by benzene-1,3-dioxyacetate dianions with tridentate and tetradentate modes of the oxyacetate groups, leading to a two-dimensional layer structure parallel to (001).
