Novel Clathrate Compound of Cadmium Cyanide Host with an Adamantane-like Cavity. Cadmium Cyanide-Carbon Tetrachloride(1/1)

Abstract

Abstract Carbon tetrachloride molecule is accommodated in the cavity formed in the three-dimensional framework of cadmium cyanide to give the title clathrate compound. The cavity has a shape of adamantane-like cage edged with –Cd–CN–Cd– linkage where the Cd atom takes a tetrahedral configuration.
