Crystal structure ofcis-bis{4-phenyl-1-[(3R)-1,7,7-trimethyl-2-oxobicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-3-ylidene]thiosemicarbazidato-κ3O,N1,S}cadmium(II) with an unknown solvent molecule

What is it about?

The reaction between the racemic mixture of the camphor-4-phenyl­thio­semicarbazone derivative and cadmium acetate dihydrate yielded the title compound, [Cd(C17H20N3OS)2]. The CdII ion is six-coordinated in a distorted octa­hedral environment by two deprotonated thio­semicarbazone ligands acting as an O,N,S-donor in a tridentate chelating mode, forming five-membered chelate rings. In the crystal, the mol­ecules are connected via pairs of N-H...S and C-H...S inter­actions, building centrosymmetric dimers. One of the ligands is disordered in the campher unit over two sets of sites with site-occupancy factors of 0.7 and 0.3. The structure contains additional solvent mol­ecules, which are disordered and for which no reasonable split model was found. Therefore, the data were corrected for disordered solvent using the SQUEEZE routine [Spek (2015). Acta Cryst. C71, 9-18] in PLATON. Since the disordered solvents were removed by data processing, and the number of solvent entities was a suggestion only, they were not considered in the chemical formula and subsequent chemical or crystal information.
