A new one-dimensional compound [Cd(dafo)(SCN)2]n (dafo=4,5-diazafluoren-9-one) has been synthesized and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. It crystallizes in the orthorhombic system; space group Pbca with a=1.708 6(5), b=1.303 6(4), c=2.592 6(8) nm, V=5.775(3) nm3, and Z=16. The crystal structure revealed that the structure of [Cd(dafo)(SCN)2]n features μ-1,3-thiocyante bridges and 1D chains. It consists of octahedrally coordinated Cd atoms. Both Cd(1) and Cd(2) are surrounded by two nitrogen atoms from dafo, two S atoms and two N atoms from two di-μ-1,3 thiocyanato bridges. CCDC: 251185.
