Abstract
In the structure of the title compound, [CdCl2(C4H8N2S)(2)], the Cd II atom is coordinated by two chloride ions and two 1,3-diazinane-2-thione (Diaz) molecules through their S atoms. The geometry around the Cd II atom is distorted tetrahedral, with bond angles in the range 101.55 (7)-117.91 (8)degrees. The CH2 groups of one Diaz ligand are disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.711 (12):0.289 (12). The molecular structure is stabilized by intramolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot Cl hydrogen-bonding interactions, generating a butterfly syn conformation. Intermolecular N-H center dot center dot center dot Cl and N-H center dot center dot center dot S interactions lead to the formation of a three-dimensional network structure. The structure has been determined from a crystal twinned by nonmerohedry, by a 180 degrees rotation around the reciprocal c axis. The twin ratio refined to 0.8866 (6): 0.1134 (6).
