catena-Poly[[(8-amino­quinoline-κ²N,N′)cadmium]-di-μ-thio­cyanato-κ²N:S;κ²S:N-[(8-amino­quinoline-κ²N,N′)cadmium]-di-μ-chlorido]

In the title compound, [CdCl(NCS)(C₉H₈N₂)]_n, the Cd^II atom is in a distorted octa­hedral coordination environment defined by two chloride anions, two N atoms from an 8-amino­quinoline ligand, one N atom from one thio­cyanate anion and one S atom from a symmetry-related thio­cyanate anion. Two Cd^II atoms are bridged by two chloride anions, forming an inversion-related Cd₂Cl₂ unit; these units are further linked through thio­cyanate anions, leading to a chain structure extending parallel to [010]. Weak π–π stacking inter­actions with centroid–centroid distances of 3.430 (4) Å and an inter­planar separation of 3.390 (3) Å between the pyridine and benzene rings link the chains into a two-dimensional network parallel to (10). Weak inter­molecular C—H...Cl hydrogen-bonding inter­actions help to consolidate the crystal packing.

4-Chloro-1-methyl­indoline-2,3-dione

The title mol­ecule, C₉H₆ClNO₂, is essentially planar; the maximum deviation of the indoline ring system is 0.027 (3) Å and the substituents do not deviate by more than 0.075 (2) Å from this plane. Inter­molecular C—H...O hydrogen bonds consolidate the crystal structure.
