Crystal structure of dichloridobis(1,3-diazinane-2-thione-κS)cadmium

Abstract

In the structure of the title compound, [CdCl2(C4H8N2S)2], the CdII atom is coordinated by two chloride ions and two 1,3-diazinane-2-thione (Diaz) molecules through their S atoms. The geometry around the CdII atom is distorted tetrahedral, with bond angles in the range 101.55(7)-117.91(8)°. The CH2 groups of one Diaz ligand are disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.711(12):0.289(12). The molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular N - H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding interactions, generating a butterfly syn conformation. Intermolecular N - H⋯Cl and N - H⋯S interactions lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network structure. The structure has been determined from a crystal twinned by nonmerohedry, by a 180° rotation around the reciprocal c axis. The twin ratio refined to 0.8866(6):0.1134(6).
