Abstract: In the molecule of the title compound, [CdCu₂(C₈H₃O₅)₂(H₂O)₂]_n, each 2-oxidobenzene-1,3-dicarboxylate trianion is bonded to two Cu atoms through O atoms of the carboxylates and the deprononated hydroxy group in chelating mode, forming [Cu₂(C₈H₃O₅)₂]^2- units. A pair of [Cu₂(C₈H₃O₅)₂]^2- units is then coordinated to each Cd atom, forming an infinite chain. The crystal structure is stabilized by intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds.
