Catena-Poly[[bis(O,O′-dimethyl dithiophosphato-κ2S,S′)cadmium(II)]-μ-4,4'-bipyridine-N:N′

Abstract

The title compound, [Cd(C4H10O2PS2)2(C10H8N2)]n, contains linear chains linked through the bipyridine groups. The Cd atom, lying on a center of symmetry, exhibits a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment, consisting of four S atoms of the chelating diethyl di­thio­phosphate ligands and two N atoms of the bridging 4,4′-bi­pyridine ligand.
