Catena-Poly[[bis-(4-methyl-benzene-thiol-ato)cadium(II)]-μ-1,3-di-4-pyridylpropane].

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, [Cd(C(7)H(7)S)(2)(C(13)H(14)N(2))](n), the unique Cd(II) ion, located on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by two S atoms and two N atoms in a slightly distorted tetra-hedral environment. Symmetry-related Cd(II) ions are linked via bridging 1,3-di-4-pyridylpropane ligands, forming a zig-zag chain-structure parallel to [001]. In the crystal structure, there are weak intra-chain π-π stacking inter-actions between benzene rings, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.825 (7) Å, and pairs of chains are inter-digitated with respect to the 4-methyl-benzene-thiol-ate groups.
