Catena-Poly[ammonium (cadmium-tri-μ-thio-cyanato-κS:N;κN:S)-1,4,10,13,16-hexa-oxa-cyclo-octa-decane (1/1)].

ABSTRACT: In the title compound, {(NH(4))[Cd(NCS)(3)]·C(12)H(24)O(6)}(n), the Cd(2+) ion, the ammonium cation, one of the SCN(-) ligands and the macrocycle are located on mirror planes. The thiocyanate anions act as bridging ligands between the Cd(II) ions, leading to a polymeric chain arrangement extending along [001] around a twofold screw axis. The ammonium ions are contained within the bowl of the macrocycle via extensive N-H⋯O hydrogen bonding.
