In the title polymeric compound, {[Cd(C15H11N2O2)2]·0.1H2O}n, the CdII atom is coordinated by four carboxylate O atoms and two benzimidazole N atoms from four benzimidazolylmethylbenzoate anions in a distorted octahedral geometry. Each anion bridges two Cd atoms through the terminal carboxylate group and an imidazole N atom, forming polymeric complex chains running along the b axis. The uncoordinated water molecule is equally disordered over two sites; occupancies were fixed as 0.5 for each disordered component. Weak intermolecular C—H...O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure.
