Abstract: The title compound, [Cd(C₅H₃N₂O₂)(N₃)]_n, has been prepared by the reaction of pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid, cadmium(II) nitrate and sodium azide. In the structure, the Cd^II atom is six-coordinated by two azide anions and three pyrazine-2-carboxylate ligands. Each pyrazine-2-carboxylate ligand bridges three Cd^II atoms, whereas the azide ligand bridges two Cd^II atoms, resulting in the formation of a two-dimensional metal-organic polymer developing parallel to the (100) plane.
