Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cd(C₅H₃O₃)₂(C₁₀H₈N₂)]_n, which was synthesized from the reaction of Cd(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O, furan-2-carboxylic acid and 4,4'-bipyridine in methanol-water, the Cd atom is octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of two bipyridine ligands and four O atoms of four furan-2-carboxylate ligands. The carboxylate group coordinates in a bridging mode; the Cd atom and 4,4'-bipyridine ligand lie on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. The compound exhibits a layer structure arising from the bonding modes of the furan-2-carboxylate anion and the 4,4'-bipyridine heterocycle.
