Bis(μ-N-benzyl-N-furfuryldithio­carbamato)-1:2κ³S,S′:S′;2:1κ³S,S′:S′-bis­[(N-benzyl-N-furfuryldithio­carbamato-κ²S,S′)cadmium]

In the centrosymmetric title compound, [Cd₂(C₁₃H₁₂NOS₂)₄], pairs of dithio­carbamate ligands exhibit different structural functions. Each of the terminal ligands is bidentately coordinated to one Cd^II atom and forms a planar four-membered CS₂Cd chelate ring, whereas pairs of the tridentate bridging ligands link two neighbouring Cd^II atoms, forming extended eight-membered C₂S₄Cd₂ tricyclic units whose geometry can be approximated by a chair conformation. The coordination polyhedron of the Cd^II atoms is a distorted square-pyramid. The five-membered furan ring and the benzene ring are disordered over two sets of sites with an occupancy ratio of 0.62 (8):0.38 (8).

cis-Bis(4-methyl­piperazine-1-carbo­dithio­ato-κ²S,S′)bis­(pyridine-κN)cadmium

In the title complex, [Cd(C₆H₁₁N₂S₂)₂(C₅H₅N)₂], the Cd^II ion is hexa­coordinated by two N atoms from two pyridine ligands and by four S atoms from two dithio­carbamate ligands in a distorted octa­hedral geometry. The Cd^II ion lies on a twofold axis. The piperazine ring is in chair conformation and its least-squares plane makes a dihedral angle of 81.4 (1)° with that of the pyridine ring.
