title: Crystal structure of catena-poly[N,N,N',N'-tetra-methyl-guanidinium [(chlorido-cadmate)-di-μ-chlorido]].
abstract: In the structure of the title salt, {(C5H14N3)[CdCl3]} n , the Cd(II) atom of the complex anion is five-coordinated by one terminal and four bridging Cl atoms. The corresponding coordination polyhedron is a distorted trigonal bipyramid, with Cd-Cl distances in the range 2.4829 (4)-2.6402 (4) Å. The bipyramids are condensed into a polyanionic zigzag chain extending parallel to [101]. The tetra-methyl-guanidinium cations are situated between the polyanionic chains and are linked to them through N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds, forming a layered network parallel to (010).
