Abstract: The structure of [Cd(C₈H₄O₄)(C₉H₁₀N₂O)₂(H₂O)₂]_n, consists of linear chains with terephthalate anions bridging the Cd atoms. The Cd atom exists in an octahedral coordination environment, coordinated by two water O atoms, two N atoms of the benzimidazole ligands and two terephthalate O atoms. The Cd atom and the terephthalate group both lie on inversion centers. Interchain hydrogen bonds form a three-dimensional supramolecular framework.
