Abstract: There are two independent Cd atoms in the title compound, [Cd(NCS)₂(C₃H₄N₂S)₂]_n; one lies on a twofold rotation axis and another is situated on an inversion center, but they are each in a distorted octahedral environment within N₄S₂ donor sets. One NH₂ group is disordered equally over two positions. Each Cd atom is doubly bridged by thiocyanate ligands to neighboring Cd atoms. The 2-aminothiazole ligands are alternately coordinated to one Cd atom in a cis conformation and to the other Cd atom in a trans conformation. Overall, the structure is a one-dimensional zigzag chain.
