title: A novel thiocyanate-bridged dinuclear cadmium(II) complex: di-mu-thiocyanato-bis((methanol){4-nitro-2-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyliminomethyl]phenolato}cadmium(II)).
abstract: The title complex, [Cd2(C11H14N3O3)2(NCS)2(CH4O)2], is an interesting thiocyanate-bridged dinuclear cadmium(II) compound. It is located on a crystallographic inversion center. The CdII atom is six-coordinated in an octahedral configuration by one O and two N atoms of one Schiff base ligand and by the terminal N atom of a bridging thiocyanate ligand, defining the basal plane, and by the terminal S atom of another bridging thiocyanate ligand and by the O atom of a coordinated methanol molecule, occupying the axial positions. The molecules are linked through intermolecular O-HO hydrogen bonds, forming chains running along the b axis.
