trans-Bis(dimethyl sulfoxide-κO)bis-(thio-semicarbazide-κN,S)cadmium dipicrate dihydrate

In the cation of the title compound, [Cd(CH(5)N(3)S)(2)(C(2)H(6)OS)(2)](C(6)H(2)N(3)O(7))(2)·2H(2)O, the Cd(II) atom is located on an inversion center. It is hexa-coordinated in an octahedral fashion by two thio-semicarbazide mol-ecules, which coordinate in a bidentate manner via the S and N atoms, and to the O atom of two dimethyl sufoxide (DMSO) mol-ecules. The charges are equilibrated by two picrate anions and the complex crystallizes as a dihydrate. In the crystal, these units are linked by a number of O-H⋯O and N-H⋯S hydrogen bonds and weak C-H⋯O inter-actions, forming a three-dimensional network.
