The structure of [Cd(S2O3)(C12H8N2)(H2O)].H2O is reported. It consists of polymeric chains evolving along the 21 symmetry axis, interconnected by hydrogen bonds. The Cd2+ environment is a distorted octahedron which presents a rather long Cd—O distance [2.549 (4) Å]. The thiosulfate ion binds to three different cationic sites, through one singly coordinated O atom and one S atom acting in a bridging mode.
