In the title mononuclear complex, [Cd(C(14)H(10)NO(3))(2)(CH(3)OH)(4)], the Cd(2+) cation is situated on an inversion centre. It exhibits a distorted octa-hedral coordination, defined by two carboxyl-ate O atoms from two monodentate anions and by four O atoms from four methanol mol-ecules. The crystal structure comprises intra-molecular O-H⋯O and O-H⋯N, and inter-molecular O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds. The latter help to construct a layered structure extending parallel to (100).
