catena-Poly[[(acetato-κ(2) O,O′)(methanol-κO)cadmium(II)]-μ-[1,2-bis­(1H-benzimid­azol-2-yl)ethane]-κ(2) N (3):N (3′)-[(acetato-κ(2) O,O′)(methanol-κO)cadmium(II)]-di-μ-chlorido]

In the title complex, [Cd(2)(CH(3)COO)(2)Cl(2)(C(16)H(14)N(4))(CH(3)OH)(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—H⋯O hydrogen bonds. Intra­chain N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds are observed.
