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

Abstract

In the structure of the title compound, [CdCl2(C4H8N2S)2], the CdIIatom is coordinated by two chloride ions and two 1,3-diazinane-2-thione (Diaz) molecules through their S atoms. The geometry around the CdIIatom is distorted tetrahedral, with bond angles in the range 101.55 (7)–117.91 (8)°. The CH2groups 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 butterflysynconformation. 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 reciprocalcaxis. The twin ratio refined to 0.8866 (6):0.1134 (6).
