Abstract: The distorted octahedral coordination of the Cd^II atom in the title complex, [Cd(C₈H₅O₃)₂(C₇H₆N₂)₂(H₂O)]·4H₂O, is formed by four O atoms (two from a chelating carboxylate group, one from a unidentate carboxylate group and one from a water ligand) and two N atoms (from two N-heterocycles); the N atoms are trans to each other. In the crystal structure, molecules are linked into a three-dimensional network by intermolecular hydrogen bonds.
