New zinc(II) and cadmium(II) complexes of the 2,2’-diamino-4,4’-bithiazole (DABTZ) ligand, [M(DABTZ)2(CH3COO)](ClO4), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, 1H NMR and 13C NMR spectroscopy. The structural characterization of the Cd(DABTZ)2(CH3COO)](ClO4) · 2H2O complex shows the complex to be a monomer and the Cd atom to be coordinated by four nitrogen atoms of the “DABTZ” ligands and two oxygen atoms of the acetate anion. There is an edge-to-edge π-π stacking interaction between the parallel aromatic rings.
