title: catena-Poly[[trimeth-yl(4-sulfanylphen-yl)aza-nium] [(chloridocadmate)-di-μ-chlorido]].
abstract: The title compound, {(C(9)H(14)NS)[CdCl(3)]}(n), consists of a linear [CdCl(3)](n) (n) (-) polyanion and a trimeth-yl(4-sulfanylphen-yl)aza-nium cation. The Cd(II) atom is penta-coordinated by four μ(2)-Cl atoms and one terminal Cl atom in a trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. The trigonal-bipyramidal units are linked by two opposite shared faces, giving rise to infinite [CdCl(3)](n) chains parallel to the a axis. The cations surround the chain and are linked to them by S-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a three-dimensional network.
