Abstract

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [Cd2(C12H10N2)3(C6H12NOS2)4]·4C2H3N, comprises a CdII atom, two di­thio­carbamate (dtc) anions, one and a half trans-1,2-dipyridin-4-yl­ethyl­ene (bpe) mol­ecules and two aceto­nitrile solvent mol­ecules. The full binuclear complex is generated by the application of a centre of inversion. The dtc ligands are chelating, one bpe mol­ecule coordinates in a monodentate mode while the other is bidentate bridging. The resulting cis-N2S4 coordination geometry is based on an octa­hedron. Supra­molecular layers, sustained by hy­droxy-O—H⋯O(hy­droxy) and hy­droxy-O—H⋯N(bpe) hydrogen bonding, inter­penetrate to form a three-dimensional architecture; voids in this arrangement are occupied by the aceto­nitrile solvent mol­ecules. Additional inter­molecular inter­actions falling within the specified framework have been analysed by Hirshfeld surface analysis, including π–π inter­actions.
