Dichloridobis[ethyl 2-(2-amino-1,3-thia-zol-4-yl)acetate-κ(2)O,N(3)]cadmium

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [CdCl2(C7H10N2O2S)2], contains two complex molecules with similar configurations. The CdII atoms are each six-coordinated by two thiazole N and two carbonyl O atoms from the 2-(2-amino-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)acetate ligand, and by two Cl− anions in a distorted octahedral geometry. In the crystal, intra- and intermolecular N—H...Cl hydrogen bonds create parallel chains along [1-10]. C—H...Cl interactions also occur.
