In the title complex, [CdCl(2)(C(3)H(4)N(2)S)(4)],the Cd(II) atom has an trans-Cl(2)N(4) octa-hedral coordination geometry defined by four N atoms derived from the four 2-amino-thia-zole ligands and two Cl atoms. The amino groups participate in intra- and inter-molecular N-H⋯N and N-H⋯Cl hydrogen bonding that stabilizes both the mol-ecular and crystal structures.
