Abstract: In the title compound, [Cd(C₁₄H₈O₄)(C₁₈H₁₀N₄)]_n, the Cd^II atom is coordinated by four O atoms from two different biphenyl-2,2'-dicarboxylate (bdc) dianions and two N atoms from the bidentate dipyrido[3,2-a:2',3'-c]phenazine (L) ligand, resulting in a very distorted cis-CdN₂O₄ octahedral geometry. The Cd^II ions are bridged by the bdc ligands to form a one-dimensional chain structure. Neighboring chains interact through - interactions [centroid-to-centroid separation = 3.496 (3) Å], resulting in a two-dimensional supramolecular network.
