Bis[N-(2-hy-droxy-eth-yl)-N-propyl-dithio-carbamato-κS,S']bis-(4-{[(pyridin-4-yl-methyl-idene)hydrazinyl-idene]meth-yl}pyridine-κN)cadmium.

The complete mol-ecule of the title compound, [Cd(C(6)H(12)NOS(2))(2)(C(12)H(10)N(4))(2)], is generated by crystallographic inversion symmetry. The distorted octa-hedral trans-N(2)S(4) donor set for the Cd(2+) ion is defined by two symmetrically S,S'-chelating dithio-carbamate anions and two pyridine N atoms derived from two monodentate 4-pyridine-aldazine (or 4-{[(pyridin-4-yl-methyl-idene)hydrazinyl-idene}meth-yl]pyridine) mol-ecules [dihedral angle between the aromatic rings = 17.33 (8)°]. In the crystal, mol-ecules are connected into a supra-molecular chain via O-H⋯N hydrogen bonds involving the 4-pyridine-aldazine N atoms not involved in coordination to cadmium. Weak C-H⋯O and C-H⋯N links consolidate the packing.
