The crystal structure of [Cd(tsac)2(bzim)2].CH3OH (tsac, anion of thiosaccharine; bzim, benzimidazole) has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffractometry. It crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1 with Z = 2. The Cd(II) cation is in a distorted tetrahedral environment coordinated to two thiosaccharinate anions [Cd–S bond lengths of 2.5117(6) and 2.5598(6) A] and two benzimidazole molecules [Cd– lengths of 2.235(2) and 2.256(2) A]. The FTIR spectrum of the complex is also recorded and briefly discussed. Some comparisons with related complexes are made.
