In the title compound, [Pd(C(8)H(4)O(4))(C(7)H(6)N(2))(2)](n), the Pd atom is tetra-coordinated by two carboxyl-ate O atoms from two benzene-1,4-dicarboxyl-ate (bdc) dianions and two N atoms from two benzimidazole ligands, resulting in a slightly distorted tetra-hedral PdO(2)N(2) geometry. The bdc ligand acts as a bridge, linking the Pd atoms into a chain. Inter-chain N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds help to stabilize the crystal structure. ...[more]
