Catena-Poly[[trimeth-yl(4-sulfanylphen-yl)aza-nium] [(chloridocadmate)-di-?-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 ?(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.
