In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Zn(NCS)2(C12H10ClN)2], the Zn2+ cation is N-coordinated by two terminally bonded thiocyante anions and by two 4-(4-chlorobenzyl)pyridine ligands within a slightly distorted tetrahedron. The asymmetric unit consists of half of the discrete complex, the central Zn2+ cation of which is located on a twofold rotation axis. The discrete complexes are linked into layers via a weak intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interaction, with a HCl distance of 2.85 Å and a C—HCl angle of 151°. These layers extend parallel to the ab plane and are held together by dispersion forces only.

In the crystal structure of the title compound, [Cd(NCS)2(C9H13N)2]n, the CdII 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 CdII cations, forming chains that propagate parallel to the b axis.
