In the title compound, [Cd(C7H7S)2(C13H14N2)]n, the unique CdII 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 CdII 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 [pi]-[pi] 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.
