catena-Poly[cadmium(II)-(μ-3-ammonio-3-phenyl­propanoato-κ(2) O:O′)-di-μ-chlorido]

The title compound, [CdCl(2)(C(9)H(11)NO(2))](n), is a coordination polymer prepared by the hydro­thermal reaction of cadmium(II) chloride and 3-amino-3-phenyl­propanoic acid. Geometric parameters are in the usual ranges. The cadmium cation is octa­hedrally coordinated by four Cl atoms at equatorial sites and two O atoms from two ligands at the axial sites. The material is composed of one-dimensional extended polymeric chains in which two Cl atoms bridge Cd atoms. The crystal structure is stabilized by an intra­molecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond.
