A one-dimensional cadmium(II) complex supported by a sulfur-nitro-gen mixed-donor ligand.

In the title compound, catena-poly[cadmium(II)-bis-(μ-5-am-ino-1,3,4-thia-diazole-2-thiol-ato)-κ(2)N(3):S(2);κ(2)S(2):N(3)], [Cd(C(2)H(2)N(3)S(2))(2)](n), the Cd(II) ion is coordinated by two N atoms of the 1,3,4-thia-diazole rings from two ligands and two S atoms of sulfhydryl from two other ligands in a slightly distorted tetra-hedral geometry. The ligands bridge Cd(II) ions, forming one-dimensional chains along [001], which are connected by N-H⋯N and N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds into a three-dimensional network.
