Abstract

The title compound, [Cd₂(C₈H₈NS₂)₄], is a centrosymmetric dimer with both chelating and μ₂-tridentate di-thio-carbamate ligands. The resulting S₅ donor set defines a Cd^II coordination geometry inter-mediate between square-pyramidal and trigonal-bipyramidal, but tending towards the former. The packing features C-H⋯S and C-H⋯π inter-actions, which generate a three-dimensional network. The influence of these inter-actions, along with intra-dimer π-π inter-actions between chelate rings, has been investigated by an analysis of the Hirshfeld surface.

Keywords: Hirshfeld surface analysis; cadmium; crystal structure; dithiocarbamate.
