AN INFRARED AND RAMAN-SPECTROSCOPIC STUDY OF TD-TYPE 4,4'-BIPYRIDYLCADMIUM(II) TETRACYANOMETALLATE(II) BENZENE(1/2) CLATHRATES - CD(C10H8N2)CD(CN)4.2C6H6 AND CD(C10H8N2)HG(CN)4.2C6H6

Abstract

Two new benzene clathrates of the form Cd(4,4'-bipyridyl)M(CN)4 . 2C6H6, (M=Cd or Hg) have been prepared in powder form. Their spectral data were compared with those of the corresponding host complexes and found to be consistent with the host structure found in Td-type clathrates.
