(2,2'-Bipyridine-κN,N')bis-(N-isopropyl-N-methyl-dithio-carbamato-κS,S')cadmium.

The Cd(II) atom in the title compound, [Cd(C(5)H(10)NS(2))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))], exists in an N(2)S(4) donor set defined by two chelating dithio-carbamate anions as well as a 2,2'-bipyridine ligand. The coordination geometry approximates a trigonal prism. The crystal packing features weak C-H⋯S inter-actions, leading to linear supra-molecular chains along the a axis. The primary connections between these are by π-π stacking inter-actions [ring centroid distance between centrosymmetrically related pyridyl rings = 3.7455 (10) Å]. Overall, the crystal structure may be described as comprising double layers of mol-ecules that stack along the b axis.
