Dichloridobis[ethyl 2-(2-amino-1,3-thia-zol-4-yl)acetate-κ(2)O,N(3)]cadmium.

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, [CdCl(2)(C(7)H(10)N(2)O(2)S)(2)], contains two complex molecules with similar configurations. The Cd(II) atoms are each six-coordinated by two thiazole N and two carbonyl O atoms from the 2-(2-amino-1,3-thiazol-4-yl)acetate ligand, and by two Cl(-) anions in a distorted octa-hedral geometry. In the crystal, intra- and inter-molecular N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonds create parallel chains along [1-10]. C-H⋯Cl inter-actions also occur.
