Abstract: The dicarboxylate dianion in the title compound, [Cd(C₅H₅N)₃(C₁₁H₉NO₆)]·2H₂O, uses its carboxylatomethyl arm to chelate to one Cd atom and the 1-carboxylatoethyl arm to bind to another Cd atom through only one terminal O atom, giving rise to a polymeric chain that runs along [10]. The octahedral geometry of the Cd atom is completed by the N atoms of three pyridine N-atom donors.
