Abstract

In the title compound, [Cd(NCS)2(C11H17N3)]n, the CdII atom is octahedrally coordinated by the N,N′,N′′-tridentate Schiff base ligand and one terminal thiocyanate N atom. Two trans-N:S-bridging thiocyanates complete the N5S donor set around the Cd atom. In the crystal, adjacent CdII ions are linked by the thiocyanate N:S-bridges into polymeric chains along the c axis.
