| Abstract: | A cadmium–thiocyanate complex, poly[[bis(nicotinic acid‐κN)di‐μ‐thiocyanato‐κ2N:S;κ2S:N‐cadmium(II)] monohydrate], {[Cd(NCS)2(C6H5NO2)2]·H2O}n, was synthesized by the reaction of nicotinic acid, cadmium nitrate tetrahydrate and potassium thiocyanide in aqueous solution. In the crystal structure, each CdII cation is in a distorted octahedral coordination environment, coordinated by the N and S atoms of nicotinic acid and thiocyanate ligands. Neighbouring CdII cations are linked together by thiocyanate bridges to form a two‐dimensional network. Hydrogen‐bond interactions between the uncoordinated solvent water molecules and the organic ligands result in the formation of the three‐dimensional supramolecular network. |
