Poly[bis-[µ-1,4-bis-(imidazol-1-ylmeth-yl)benzene]dichloridocadmium(II)].

The title compound, [CdCl(2)(C(14)H(14)N(4))(2)](n), has a slightly distorted octa-hedral coordination geometry, formed by four N atoms from 1,4-bis-(imidazol-1-ylmeth-yl)benzene ligands and two Cl atoms, giving a two-dimensional network. The Cd atom lies on a centre of inversion.
