[2,9-Bis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl-κN 2)-1,10-phenanthroline-κ2 N,N′]bis­(thio­cyanato-κN)cadmium(II)

Abstract

In the title complex, [Cd(NCS)2(C22H20N6)], the CdII ion is in a CdN6 coordination geometry which is inter­mediate between octa­hedral and trigonal–prismatic. The dihedral angles formed between the mean planes of the pyrazole rings and the phenanthroline system are 15.74 (15) and 16.30 (13)°. In the crystal, there is a π–π stacking inter­action involving two symmetry-related pyrazole rings, with a centroid–centroid distance of 3.664 (3) Å. In addition, there is a relatively short inter­molecular contact between C atoms [C⋯C = 3.399 (6) Å] involving symmetry-related pyridine rings along the a axis
