Crystal structure of catena-poly[[(3-tert-butyl­pyridine-κN)(4-tert-butyl­pyridine-κN)cadmium]-di-μ-thio­cyanato-κ²N:S;κ²S:N]

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cd(NCS)₂(C₉H₁₃N)₂]_n, the Cd^II cations are coordinated in a slightly distorted octa­hedral geometry by one 3-tert-butyl­pyridine ligand, one 4-tert-butyl­pyridine ligand and two pairs of translationally-equivalent μ-1,3-bridging thio­cyanate ligands, all of which are in general positions. These μ-1,3-bridging thio­cyante anions bridge the Cd^II cations, forming chains that propagate parallel to the b axis.
