Abstract: In the title compound, [Cd(C₇H₇S)₂(C₁₃H₁₄N₂)]_n, the unique Cd^II ion, located on a twofold rotation axis, is coordinated by two S atoms and two N atoms in a slightly distorted tetrahedral environment. Symmetry-related Cd^II ions are linked via bridging 1,3-di-4-pyridylpropane ligands, forming a zig-zag chain-structure parallel to [001]. In the crystal structure, there are weak intrachain - stacking interactions between benzene rings, with a centroid-centroid distance of 3.825 (7) Å, and pairs of chains are interdigitated with respect to the 4-methylbenzenethiolate groups.
