catena-Poly[[bis(thiocyanato-kappa N)cadmium(II)]-di-mu-thiourea-kappa(4)S:S].

The Cd(II) ion in the title complex, [Cd(SCN)(2)[SC(NH(2))(2)](2)](infinity), is situated at a centre of symmetry, and is bound to two N atoms belonging to thiocyanate groups and to four S atoms of bridging thiourea ligands. The structure consists of infinite chains of slightly distorted edge-shared Cd-centred octahedra. The bridging S atoms of two thiourea ligands comprise the common edge. Some thermal properties are described.
