FT-IR spectroscopic study of the Hofmann-Td-type clathrates: Ni(1,9-diaminononane)M'(CN)4·2G (M' = Cd or Hg, G = benzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene or 1,4-dichlorobenzene)

Abstract

New Hofmann Td-type clathrates in the form of Ni(1,9-diaminononane)M'(CN)4·2G (M' = Cd or Hg, G = benzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene or 1,4-dichlorobenzene) were prepared in powder form and their infrared spectra are reported in the range of 4000-200 cm -1. As seen from the spectral features, the present compounds are similar in structure to the Hofmann Td-type clathrates.
