(2,2'-Bipyridine-κN,N')bis-(N-isopropyl-N-methyl-dithio-carbamato-κS,S')cadmium
Abstract:
The Cd(II) atom in the title compound, [Cd(C(5)H(10)NS(2))(2)(C(10)H(8)N(2))], exists in an N(2)S(4) donor set defined by two chelating dithio-carbamate anions as well as a 2,2'-bipyridine ligand. The coordination geometry approximates a trigonal prism. The crystal packing features weak C-H⋯S inter-actions, leading to linear supra-molecular chains along the a axis. The primary connections between these are by π-π stacking inter-actions [ring centroid distance between centrosymmetrically related pyridyl rings = 3.7455 (10) Å]. Overall, the crystal structure may be described as comprising double layers of mol-ecules that stack along the b axis.

Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly, SCN− can be...
