The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cd2Cl2(NCS)2(C15H15NO2)2]n, contains the Schiff base 2-[(4-methylphenylimino)methyl]-6-methoxyphenol (HL) ligand, one thiocyanate and one chloride ligand coordinated to a cadmium centre. The cadmium centers are linked to each other via two thiocyanate and two chloride bridges alternately, resulting in centrosymmetric zigzag chains running parallel to the a axis. The CdII coordination environment contains two Cl atoms, one thiocyanate (SCN) S atom, one isothiocyanate (NCS) N atom and two O atoms from the HL ligand. The Schiff base ligand is in the trans conformation.
