Abstract: In the title compound, [Cd(C₈H₄O₄)(C₁₀H₈N₂)(H₂O)₂]_n, the Cd atom has a distorted trigonal-prismatic coordination geometry, bonded to two N atoms from the 2,2'-bipyridine ligand, two water O atoms and two O atoms from two different phthalate ligands, thereby producing a linear coordination polymer. The crystal structure is stabilized by - interactions [centroid-to-centroid distance = 3.766 (3) Å] and hydrogen bonds.
