Abstract

The redetermination of the crystal structure of a cadmium(II) complex of 1,3-imidazolidine-2-thione (Imt) coordinated with two molecules of Imt and two Cl- ions, [CdCl2(C3H6N2S)2], has been performed in order to obtain accurate parameters and to study the effects of the metal coordination on the metal-S and C - S bonds in Imt complexes. The CdI - S distances of 2.525 (2) and 2.535 (2) Å in the present tetrahedral complex are significantly longer than the corresponding distances in the AuI and CuII complexes of Imt, but there is no significant difference in the C - S distances of 1.721 (6) and 1.710 (6) Å from that in AuI and CuII complexes. This work represents a significant increase in the quality of the structure of the title compound over the earlier work.
