Dichlorido{(2E)-2-[phenyl(pyridin-2-yl)methylidene]hydrazinecarbothioamide}cadmium(II) methanol monosolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [CdCl2(C13H12N4S)]·CH3OH, the coordination geometry of the CdII ion is slightly distorted square-pyramidal, as indicated by the τ index of 0.36 (8). The S atom, two N atoms from the pyridyl-azomethine moiety and one of the Cl atoms comprise the basal plane, while the other Cl atom occupies the apical position. The hydrazinecarbothioamide moiety adopts an E conformation with respect to the azomethine bond. The solvate molecule in the crystal lattice plays a major role in interconnecting adjacent molecules by means of O—H...Cl and N—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions. A supramolecular three-dimensional architecture is sustained in terms of further N—H...Cl and C—H...Cl hydrogen-bonding interactions.
