Dichlorido{(2E)-2-[phen-yl(pyridin-2-yl)methyl-idene]hydrazinecarbo-thio-amide}cadmium(II) methanol monosolvate.

In the title compound, [CdCl2(C13H12N4S)]·CH3OH, the coord-ination geometry of the Cd(II) ion is slightly distorted square-pyramidal, as indicated by the τ index of 0.36 (8). The S atom, two N atoms from the pyridyl-azomethine moiety and one of the Cl atoms comprise the basal plane, while the other Cl atom occupies the apical position. The hydrazinecarbo-thio-amide moiety adopts an E conformation with respect to the azomethine bond. The solvate mol-ecule in the crystal lattice plays a major role in inter-connecting adjacent mol-ecules by means of O-H⋯Cl and N-H⋯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions. A supra-molecular three-dimensional architecture is sustained in terms of further N-H⋯Cl and C-H⋯Cl hydrogen-bonding inter-actions.
