Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cd(2)Cl(2)(NCS)(2)(C(15)H(15)NO(2))(2)](n), contains the Schiff base 2-[(4-methyl-phenyl-imino)meth-yl]-6-methoxy-phenol (HL) ligand, one thio-cyanate and one chloride ligand coordinated to a cadmium centre. The cadmium centers are linked to each other via two thio-cyanate and two chloride bridges alternately, resulting in centrosymmetric zigzag chains running parallel to the a axis. The Cd(II) coordination environment contains two Cl atoms, one thio-cyanate (SCN) S atom, one isothio-cyanate (NCS) N atom and two O atoms from the HL ligand. The Schiff base ligand is in the trans conformation.
