Abstract: The metal atom in the title compound, [Cd(C₁₅H₁₃N₂O₄)₂]·2C₂H₆OS, is twice O,N,O'-chelated by two symmetry-related Schiff base ligands to define a trans-N₂O₄ octahedral geometry. Each anion occupies meridional sites of the octahedron; the metal atom lies on a special position of site symmetry 2. The dimethyl sulfoxide molecule is a hydrogen-bond acceptor to the -NH- unit, and O-HO hydrogen bonds link molecules into a supramolecular chain.
