Four polymorphs are described for the one-dimensional coordination polymer {Cd[S2P(OMe)2]2(4-pyridine-aldazine)}n (1) which features a trans-N2S4 distorted octahedral coordination geometry. Lattice energy calculations show the room temperature form, 1α, is the thermodynamically stable phase, being...
