Bis[benzyl 3-(3-phenyl-prop-2-enyl-idene)dithio-carbazato-κ(2)N(3),S]cadmium.

In the title complex, [Cd(C(17)H(15)N(2)S(2))(2)], the Cd(II) ion is located on a twofold rotation axis and exhibits a coordination number of four within a very distorted coordination environment that is best described as bis-phenoidal. The two deprotonated Schiff base ligands chelate the Cd(II) ion through the azomethine N and the thiol-ate S atom. The dihedral angle between the two chelating ligands is 84.01 (9)°. Weak inter-molecular C-H⋯S inter-actions lead to the formation of chains along the c axis.
