Abstract: The title compound, {(C₆H₉N₂O₂)[Cd₂Cl₅(H₂O)]}_n, consists of 1-methyl-3-carboxymethylimidazole cations and infinite one-dimensional polymeric inorganic chains of {[Cd₂Cl₅(H₂O)]^-}_n running along the a axis. The imidazole-ring cations form one-dimensional chains adjacent to the inorganic chains via - stacking interactions (- distance = 3.736 Å).
