Polymeric bis(N,N-dimethylacetamide)tetrakis(thiocyanato)cadmium(II)mercury(II).

The title complex, [[CdHg(SCN)(4)(C(4)H(9)NO)(2)](2)](n), contains two crystallographically independent Cd(II) centres and two Hg(II) centres. Each Cd(II) atom is bound to four N atoms belonging to SCN groups and to two O atoms from N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMA) ligands in an octahedral geometry. Each Hg(II) centre is tetrahedrally coordinated by four SCN S atoms.
