The structure of the title compound, [Cd(NCS)(2)(C(5)H(8)N(2))(4)], consists of isolated mol-ecules of [Cd(NCS)(2)(Eim)(4)] (Eim = 1-ethyl-imidazole), which contain a compressed octa-hedral CdN(6) chromophore. The NCS(-) anions are trans and four N atoms from the 1-ethyl-imidazole ligands define the equatorial plane. The mean Cd-N(Eim) and Cd-N(NCS) distances are 2.334 (4) and 2.379 (5) Å, respectively. Weak C-H⋯N inter-actions contribute to the crystal packing stability. ...[more]
