A two-dimensional coordination polymer: poly[[bis­[μ(2)-N-ethyl-N-(pyridin-4-ylmeth­yl)di­thio­carbamato-κ(3) N:S,S′]cadmium(II)] 3-methyl­pyridine monosolvate]

The title compound, {[Cd(C(9)H(11)N(2)S(2))(2)]·C(6)H(7)N}(n), features two μ(2)-κ(3)-di­thio­carbamate ligands each of which chelates one Cd(II) atom, via the S atoms, while simultaneously bridging to another via the pyridyl-N atom. The result is a two-dimensional coordination polymer extending parallel to the ab plane with square channels along the b axis. The Cd(II) atom geometry is based on a distorted cis-N(2)S(4) octa­hedron. The 3-methyl­pyridine mol­ecules reside in the channels aligned along the b axis, being held in place by methyl­ene-C—H⋯N(3-methyl­pyridine) and (3-methyl­pyridine)-C—H⋯π(pyrid­yl) inter­actions. Pyridyl-C—H⋯S and di­thio­carbamate-methyl-C—H⋯π(pyrid­yl) inter­actions provide connections between layers along the c axis.
