Abstract: In the title coordination polymer, [Cd(C₈H₅Cl₂O₃)₂(H₂O)₂]_n, each Cd^II atom lies on an inversion center. The Cd^II atom exists in a slightly distorted octahedral coordination polyhedron, involving four carboxyl O atoms from different 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate ligands and two water molecules. The Cd^II ions are bridged by carboxylate groups in a bis(monodentate) mode, leading to a two-dimensional layer structure. This supramolecular network is consolidated by intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions.
