Inter­actions of thia­mine with polymeric halogenocadmate anions in the organic–inorganic hybrid compound (thia­minium)[Cd3Br4.4Cl3.6]

The structure of poly3‐(4‐amino‐2‐methylpyrimidin‐1‐ium‐5‐yl)meth­yl]‐5‐(2‐hydroxy­ethyl)‐4‐methyl­thia­zolium octa‐μ‐bromo/chloro­(4.4/3.6)‐tricadmate(II)], {(C₁₂H₁₈N₄OS)Cd₃ Br_4.41Cl_3.59]}_n consists of hydrogen‐bonded thia­mine mol­ecules and polymeric cadmium bromide/chloride anions in an organic–inorganic hybrid fashion. The one‐dimensional anion ribbons are formed by edge‐sharing octa­hedra and vertex‐sharing tetra­hedra. Thia­mine mol­ecules adopting the S conformation are linked to anions via three types of inter­actions, namely an N(amino)—H⋯anion⋯thia­zolium bridging inter­action, an N(pyrimidine)—H⋯anion hydrogen bond and an O(hydr­oxy)—H⋯anion hydrogen bond.
