Abstract: In the title compound, [Cd(NCS)₂(C₁₁H₁₇N₃)]_n, the Cd^II atom is octahedrally coordinated by the N,N',N''-tridentate Schiff base ligand and one terminal thiocyanate N atom. Two trans-N:S-bridging thiocyanates complete the N₅S donor set around the Cd atom. In the crystal, adjacent Cd^II ions are linked by the thiocyanate N:S-bridges into polymeric chains along the c axis.
