An Infrared and Raman Spectroscopic Study of Td type 4 4 bipyridylcadmium II Tetracyanometallate Benzene 1 2 Clathrates

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.
