Abstract: The title compound, [Cd(C₂O₄)(C₃H₇NO)₂]_n, is isostructural with its Mn^II analogue. The structure comprises zigzag polymeric chains with the oxalate groups situated on inversion centres and the Cd^II atoms located on twofold rotation axes. The coordination geometry around Cd^II is distorted octahedral and the intrachain CdCd distance is 5.842 (1) Å. C-HO hydrogen bonds exist between the parallel polymeric chains.
