One-dimensional coordination polymer of cadmium(II) complex, <TEX>$[Cd(SCN)_2(C_4H_6N_2]_n$</TEX>, has been prepared and characterized by X-ray single crystallography. Structure analysis reveals that each cadmium(II) atom is six-coordinated in distorted octahedral fashion with <TEX>$CdS_2N_4$</TEX> composition. <TEX>$CdS_2N_4$</TEX> composition contains two S and two N atoms from four thiocyanates and tow N atoms from two 4-methylimidazole ligands. Central cadmium(II) atoms are run in parallel to the a-axis and are doubly bridged with neighboring cadmium(II) atoms by the thiocyanate and isothiocyanate ligands. Thus, this complex has a one-dimensional polymer structure in which the 4-methylimidazole is in the trans conformation.
