Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cd(C₁₅H₁₄NO₂)₂(C₆H₇NO)₂]_n, the Cd atom displays a distorted octahedral geometry, including two pyridine N atoms and two hydroxyl O from four symmetry-related 3-pyridylmethanol (3-pyme) ligands and two carboxylate O atoms from mefenamate [2-(2,3-dimethylanilino)benzoate] anions. The Cd atoms are connected via the bridging 3-pyme ligands into chains, that extend in the a-axis direction. The Cd atom is located on a center of inversion, whereas the 3-pyme ligands and the mefenamate anions occupy general positions.
