Abstract: In the title coordination polymer, [Cd(C₅H₂N₂O₄)(C₅H₅N)]_n, the Cd^II atom exists in a pentagonal-bipyramidal environment that has two N atoms and four O atoms from three different imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate ligands, and an N atom from a pyridine molecule. The Cd atoms are linked by the imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate ligands to give rise to a three-dimensional open framework with channels.
