Abstract: The dinuclear centrosymmetric title compound, [Cd₂(C₇H₁₄NS₂)₄(C₁₂H₁₀N₄)], features a tetradentate 2-pyridinealdazine ligand that chelates two Cd centres. The coordination geometry for Cd is distorted octahedral based on a cis-N₂S₄ donor set. In the crystal structure, molecules are connected into a supramolecular chain aligned along the a direction via C-HS and C-H contacts, and by - contacts [centroid-to-centroid distance 3.5708 (15) Å]. The n-propyl groups are each disordered, one equally over two sites and the other with a site-occupancy factor of 0.618 (8) for the major component.
