There are two coordination patterns for the carboxylate groups of the PBEA(2-) ligand, one being a µ(1)-η(1):η(1) chelating mode and the other a µ(2)-η(2):η(1) bridging mode, while the BTB molecule shows a trans-trans-trans conformation. The crystal structure is constructed from the secondary building unit (SBU) [Cd(2)(CO(2))(4)N(2)O(2)], in which the two metal centres are held together by two PBEA(2-) linkers. The SBU is connected by BTB and PBEA(2-) bridges to form a two-dimensional grid-like (4,4) layer with meshes of dimensions 14.69 × 11.28 Å.
