title: Dichlorido{N,N-dimethyl-N'-[1-(pyridin-2-yl)ethyl-idene]ethane-1,2-diamine-κN,N',N''}cadmium.
abstract: In the title compound, [CdCl(2)(C(11)H(17)N(3))], the Schiff base acts as an N,N',N''-tridentate ligand towards the Cd(II) ion. Two Cl atoms complete a distorted square-pyramidal geometry around the metal atom. In the crystal, a C-H⋯Cl inter-action connects pairs of mol-ecules into centrosymetric dimers.
