Abstract: In the title complex, [Cd₂(CH₃COO)₂Cl₂(C₁₆H₁₄N₄)(CH₃OH)₂]_n, the Cd^II atom is six-coordinated by one N atom from a centrosymmetric bridging 1,2-bis(2,2'-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)ethane (bbe) ligand, two O atoms from a chelating acetate ligand, one O atom from a methanol molecule and two bridging Cl atoms in a distorted octahedral geometry. The Cd^II atoms are connected alternately by the Cl atoms and bbe ligands, leading to a chain along [001]. These chains are further linked by O-HO hydrogen bonds. Intrachain N-HO hydrogen bonds are observed.
