Di-μ-thio­cyanato-κ(2) N:S;κ(2) S:N-bis­[bis­(2-methyl-1H-benzimidazole-κN (3))(thio­cyanato-κN)cadmium(II)]

The title compound, [Cd(2)(NCS)(4)(C(8)H(8)N(2))(4)], is a centrosymmetric dinuclear cadmium(II) complex in which each two metal ions are linked by a pair of thio­cyanate N:S-bridges. Two 2-methyl­benzimidazole N-atom donors and one terminal thio­cyanate N atom complete a highly distorted square-pyramidal geometry around the Cd atom. In the crystal structure, two N—H⋯S hydrogen-bonding inter­actions occur, resulting in a three-dimensional polymeric structure. The apical 2-methyl­benzimidazole ring and its symmetry-related counterpart are arranged in an anti­parallel manner with a centroid–centroid separation of 3.6050 (14) Å, indicative of a π–π inter­action.
