Using a Py2S4 bis-tridentate ligand and Cd (II), 1-and 2-D coordination networks were obtained and characterised in the solid state; whereas a 1-D network was obtained using the cadmium (II) dichloride salt, a 2-D network was obtained using a mixed chloride and tetrafluoroborate cadmium (II) salt; in the latter case, the inclusion of two CHCl3 molecules within cavities formed by the organic and inorganic fragments was observed.
