Cis-bis(4-methylpiperazine-1-carbodithioato-κ 2S,S/) bis(pyridine-κ-N)-cadmium

Abstract

In the title complex, [Cd(C 6H 11N 2S 2) 2(C 5H 5N) 2], the Cd II ion is hexacoordinated by two N atoms from two pyridine ligands and by four S atoms from two dithiocarbamate ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry. The Cd II ion lies on a twofold axis. The piperazine ring is in chair conformation and its leastsquares plane makes a dihedral angle of 81.4(1)°with that of the pyridine ring.
