Three-co-ordinate thiocyanate in cadmium dithiocyanate
Abstract
The crystal structure of the title compound has been determined from three-dimensional X-ray data. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P21/n with Z= 4 in a unit cell of dimensions: a= 7.39(1), b= 13.10(2), c= 5.86(1)Å. β= 112.1(3)°. The structure was solved by patterson and Fourier methods and refined by least-squares techniques to R 0.033 for 1 059 observed reflections measured by diffractometer. Cadmium is octahedrally surrounded by four sulphur and by two trans-nitrogen atoms with a slightly distorted geometry. Cd–N (2.24 Å) and Cd–S (2.76 Å) bond distances are all close to normal covalent bond values.
