Abstract: In the title compound, [Cd(C₉H₆O₅)(C₃H₄N₂)(H₂O)₂]·3H₂O, the carboxylatophenoxyacetate dianion links the water- and imidazole-coordinated Cd atoms into a zigzag chain that runs along the c axis of the monoclinic unit cell; the chelation by the carboxylate arms leads to a seven-coordinate pentagonal-bipyramidal geometry for the Cd atom. The chains are linked into a three-dimensional network by hydrogen bonds.
