Abstract
The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cd(NCS)2(C5H5N)2]n, consists of two crystallographically independent CdII cations, four thiocyanato anions and four pyridine ligands. The CdII atoms are each coordinated by four N atoms from two pyridine ligands and two thiocyanato anions, each in a mutually cis orientation, and by two S atoms from two adjacent thiocyanato anions within a slightly distorted octahedral coordination environment. The CdII atoms are μ-1,3-bridged via the thiocyanato anions into polymeric chains parallel to [001]. The CdII⋯CdII intrachain separations range between 5.9688 (6) and 6.0195 (6) Å, whereas the shortest CdII⋯CdII interchain separations are 7.8272 (7) and 8.6312 (6) Å.
