Single-crystal structures show them to contain distorted CdN<sub>3</sub>OS<sub>2</sub> (for the thiocyanate) and CdN<sub>2</sub>OCl<sub>2</sub>S (for the thiocyanate/chloride) octahedra, in which the mc and ec ligands adopt an N,O-bidentate coordination mode, and the four anions bridge adjacent metal ions, which leads to polymeric sheets built up from double-octahedral layers propagating in the (1 0 0) plane. The topological linkage of the metal ions, which is the same in each structure, can be described as a distorted hexagonal grid. The crystal structures are completed by weak N–H⋯O, N–H⋯N, N–H⋯Cl, and N–H⋯S hydrogen bonds, which all occur within the (1 0 0) polyhedral layers.</p></div> 2014-04-30 11:35:52 double-layered coordination polymers containing bridging
