In the title complex, [Cd(C8H9N2O4)(2)(H2O)(2)]center dot 2C(3)H(7)NO, the six-coordinate Cd-II ion is in a slightly distorted octahedral environment, defined by two O atoms from two coordinated water molecules and two carboxylate O atoms and two N atoms from two N, O-bidentate 5-carboxy-2-propyl-1H-imidazole-4-carboxylate ligands. In the crystal, complex molecules and dimethylformamide solvent molecules are linked by O-H center dot center dot center dot O and N-H center dot center dot center dot O hydrogen bonds into a two-dimensional supramolecular structure. The propyl groups of the ligands are disordered over two conformations with refined occupancies of 0.680 (7) and 0.320 (7).
