Abstract: In the title compound, [Cd₂(C₁₂H₆O₄)₂(C₁₀H₁₄N₄)(H₂O)]_n, the coordination polyhedron around each Cd^II ion is a distorted CdNO₅ octahedron. The water O atom has site symmetry 2 and the complete 1,1'-(butane-1,4-diyl)diimidazole (L) ligand is generated by inversion. The naphthalene-1,4-dicarboxylate and L ligands bridge the metal centres, forming a three-dimensional framework, which is consolidated by O-HO hydrogen bonds.
