title: (μ-2-Pyridine-aldazine-κN,N':N'',N''')bis-[bis-(N,N-di-n-propyl-dithio-carbamato-κS,S')cadmium(II)].
abstract: The dinuclear centrosymmetric title compound, [Cd(2)(C(7)H(14)NS(2))(4)(C(12)H(10)N(4))], features a tetra-dentate 2-pyridine-aldazine ligand that chelates two Cd centres. The coordination geometry for Cd is distorted octa-hedral based on a cis-N(2)S(4) donor set. In the crystal structure, mol-ecules are connected into a supra-molecular chain aligned along the a direction via C-H⋯S and C-H⋯π contacts, and by π-π contacts [centroid-to-centroid distance 3.5708 (15) Å]. The n-propyl groups are each disordered, one equally over two sites and the other with a site-occupancy factor of 0.618 (8) for the major component.
