Abstract: In the centrosymmetric title compound, [Cd₂(C₁₃H₁₂NOS₂)₄], pairs of dithiocarbamate ligands exhibit different structural functions. Each of the terminal ligands is bidentately coordinated to one Cd^II atom and forms a planar four-membered CS₂Cd chelate ring, whereas pairs of the tridentate bridging ligands link two neighbouring Cd^II atoms, forming extended eight-membered C₂S₄Cd₂ tricyclic units whose geometry can be approximated by a chair conformation. The coordination polyhedron of the Cd^II atoms is a distorted square-pyramid. The five-membered furan ring and the benzene ring are disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.62 (8):0.38 (8).
