The title complex, zinc cadmium tetrathiocyanate, [ZnCd(SCN) 4 ] n , contains slightly flattened ZnN 4 and CdS 4 tetrahedra. The -S=C=N- bridges connect Zn and Cd atoms, forming infinite three-dimensional -Cd-S=C=N-Zn- networks, and are essentially linear at C and N, but bent at S. The structure exhibits a high non-linear optical property, and physical and chemical stability.
