T.-T. Pan and D.-J. Xu

Abstract: In the title complex, [Cd(C₄H₄O₄S)(C₃H₄N₂)(H₂O)]_n, the Cd^II atom is surrounded by one imidazole ligand, one water molecule and two thiodiacetate dianions in a distorted octahedral CdNO₄S coordination. Each thiodiacetate dianion coordinates to two independent Cd atoms, one as a tridentate chelate, the other in a monodentate fashion through a carboxylate O atom. The thiodiacetate dianions bridge neighbouring Cd^II atoms, forming zigzag polymeric chains.
