Abstract: In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cd(NCS)(C₆H₄NO₂)(C₂H₅OH)]_n, the Cd²⁺ cation is coordinated by one N and two O atoms of two symmetry-related isonicotinate anions, one ethanol molecule and two -1,3-bridging thiocyanate anions in a distorted octahedral N₂O₃S geometry. The metal cations are -1,3-bridged via thiocyanate anions into chains that are further connected into layers parallel to the ab plane by bridging isonicotinate anions. The layers are stacked along the c axis. The crystal structure is stabilized by O-HO hydrogen bonds.
