Abstract: The title compound, [CdI₂(C₁₂H₁₂N₆)]_n, is a polymeric 1:1 adduct of cadmium iodide and 1,4-bis(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene. The Cd and I atoms lie on special positions of m site symmetry and the complete organic ligand has inversion symmetry. The polymer assumes a zigzag conformation propagating along the c axis. The geometry at Cd is that of a CdI₂N₂ tetrahedron.
