Abstract: In the title compound, [Cd(NO₃)₂(C₈H₇N₃)₂(H₂O)₂], the Cd^II cation is situated on an inversion center and is coordinated by the O atoms of two nitrate anions, by the N atoms of two 4-(imidazol-2-yl)pyridine ligands and by two water O atoms in a slightly distorted N₂O₄ octahedral geometry. The dihedral angle between the imidazole and pyridine rings is 1.6 (2)°. In the crystal, molecules are linked by N-HO, O-HN and O-HO hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
