Abstract
The three-dimensional structure of octacyanotetrakis(1-methylimidazole-N 3 )tetracadmium(II) clathrate, [Cd 4 (CN) 8 (C 4 H 6 N 2 ) 4 ], contains three kinds of Cd atoms, i.e. tetrahedral Cd1 and octahedral Cd2 and Cd3 in a 2:1:1 ratio; atoms Cd2 and Cd3 lie on inversion centres. The Cd1 and Cd2 centres are coordinated by four and six cyano groups, respectively. The Cd3 centre is coordinated by two cyano groups and four 1-methylimidazole ligands. The three-dimensional framework provides hexagonal channels which are occupied by 1-methylimidazole ligands coordinated to the Cd3 centre.
