The title compound, [Cd(NO3)2(C9H12N4)2]n, has a one-dimensional double-bridged chain polymer structure with a 16-membered macrometallacyclic tetragonal structural motif. The CdII ion occupies a crystallographic inversion centre and is coordinated by four equatorial N atoms from four distinct bis(2-methylimidazol-1-yl)methane ligands and two apical nitrate O atoms to form a slightly distorted octahedral coordination geometry.
