Abstract: In the title complex, [Cd₂(C₉H₆O₅)₂(C₇H₆N₂)₄(H₂O)₂]·2H₂O, the Cd^II atoms are linked by two 3-carboxyphenoxyacetate groups into a centrosymmetric dimer. Each Cd^II atom displays a distorted octahedral coordination geometry, with three carboxylate O atoms from different 3-carboxyphenoxyacetate groups, two N atoms from two benzimidazole co-ligands and one water molecule. Intermolecular hydrogen bonding leads to a two-dimensional supramolecular network.
