title: catena-Poly[[bis[mu-2,4-dichloro-6-(2-pyridylmethyliminomethyl)phenolato]dicadmium(II)]-di-mu-thiocyanato].
abstract: The title complex, [Cd2(C13H9Cl2N2O)2(NCS)2]n, is a novel thiocyanate-bridged polynuclear cadmium(II) compound. The Cd(II) atom is six-coordinated in a distorted octahedral configuration, with one O and two N atoms of one Schiff base molecule and one terminal S atom of a bridging thiocyanate ligand defining the equatorial plane, and one terminal N atom of another bridging thiocyanate ligand and one O atom of another Schiff base molecule occupying axial positions. Adjacent inversion-related [2,4-dichloro-6-(2-pyridylmethyliminomethyl)phenolato]cadmium(II) moieties utilize bridging phenolate and thiocyanate groups to form polymeric chains running along the b axis.
