Di-[mu]-thiocyanato-[kappa]2N:S;[kappa]2S:N-bis({2-morpholino-N-[1-(2-pyridyl)ethylidene]ethanamine-[kappa]3N,N',N''}(thiocyanato-[kappa]N)cadmium)

In the title complex, [Cd2(NCS)4(C13H19N3O)2], the two CdII ions are bridged by a pair of thiocyanate N:S-bridging ligands around an inversion center. One terminal thiocyanate N atom and one N,N',N''-tridentate Schiff base ligand complete a distorted CdN5S octahedral geometry about each CdII atom. In the crystal, the Schiff base aromatic rings of adjacent molecules are arranged above each other into infinite chains along the a axis with alternate centroid-centroid separations of 3.5299 (13) and 3.7857 (13) Å.
