Abstract: The framework of the title compound, {(NH₃CH₂CH₂NH₃)[CdCl₄]}_n, is built upon layers parallel to (100) made up from corner-sharing [CdCl₆] octahedra. NH₃CH₂CH₂NH₃²⁺ cations are situated between the layers and are linked to the layers via an N-HCl hydrogen-bonding network. The Cd atom is located on an inversion centre and the coordination environment is described as highly distorted octahedral.
