Abstract: In the title compound, [Cd(C₂₇H₃₁N₃)Cl₂]·CH₃CN, the coordination geometry around the five-coordinated Cd^II atom can be described as distorted trigonal-bipyramidal, formed by two Cl atoms, one pyridine N and two imine N atoms from the bis(iminoalkyl)pyridine ligand. The dihedral angles between the substituted phenyl rings and the plane formed by the three coordinated N atoms are 90.6 (1) and 86.0 (1)°. C-HCl hydrogen bonds link the molecules into a three-dimensional supramolecular network.
