Crystal structure of catena-poly-(thiocynato-N)cadmium-di-µ-(thiocyanato-N)-(thiocyanato-N)cadmium-tris-µ-(4-t-butyl-1,2,4-triazole-N¹:N²). A new, alternating zig-zag chain containing N-bonded, bridging thiocyanate

Abstract

the structure of [Cd2(NCS)4(butrz)3]∞(butyl = 4-t-butyl-1,2,4-triazole) consists of zig-zag chain with alternating bridges of three butrz groups and two unusual N-bonded isothiocyanate anions; the octahedral co-ordination around each cadmium ion is completed by a monodentate isothiocyanate anion.
