The structure of the title compound, [Cd(NCS)2(C7H9NO)2]n, consists of cadmium–thiocyanate layers parallel to the ab plane. Pairs of CdII ions are bridged by two end-to-end inversely bridging μ-NCS-N:S thiocyanate groups, forming a two-dimensional network with the remaining two trans positions of the octahedrally coordinated CdII ions occupied by the N atoms of two neutral 2-methoxyaniline ligands. The crystal structure is stabilized by intralayer N—HS hydrogen bonds.
