Abstract: In the title coordination polymer, [Cd(C₅H₂N₂O₄)(H₂O)]_n, the Cd^II atom is six-coordinated by one N atom and four O atoms from three individual imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylate (HIDC^2-) anions and the O atom of a water molecule. The HIDC^2- anion serves as a bridging ligand to link the Cd^II atoms into a two-dimensional network.
