Supporting information
The ligand L was synthesized according to literature (Li et al., 2005). A mixture of Cd(NO3)2.4H2O (0.015 g), L (0.023 g), NaOH (0.004 g) and water (10 ml) was heated at 80°C for 25 min. After the mixture had been cooled to room temperature, colorless crystals of the title compound were obtained (yield: 43%).
H atoms on C atoms were positioned geometrically and refined as riding atoms, with C—H = 0.93 (CH) and 0.97 (CH2) Å and with Uiso(H)= 1.2Ueq(C). Water H atoms were located in a difference Fourier map and refined with a restraint of O—H = 0.84 (1) Å and with Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(O). The highest residual electron density was found at 0.33 Å from Cd1 atom and the deepest hole at 0.37 Å from Br2 atom.

The design and synthesis of coordination polymers are of great interest for their intriguing architectures and potential applications (Li et al., 2005). In this paper, the structure of the title compound is described.
As shown in Fig. 1, the CdII ion is six-coordinated by two Br- anions and four O atoms from two butane-1,4-diylbis(pyridinium-1-yl-4-carboxylate (L) ligands (Table 1). The two carboxylate groups of the L ligand display a bidentate chelating mode. The bond distances and angles are normal (Ma et al., 2000). As illustrated in Fig. 2, each L ligand bridges two CdII ions, resulting in a one-dimensional zigzag chain, with a Cd···Cd separation of 14.630 (1) Å. O—H···O and O—H···Br hydrogen bonds (Table 2) involving the uncoordinated water molecules connect the chains.
