Abstract

An anionic cadmium tris-dicyanamide compound (Et₄N)[Cd(N(CN)₂)₃]·3/4H₂O 1 has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, X-ray powder diffraction, and X-ray crystallography. The anions form extended sheets with retention of (4,4) connectivity in the absence of π···π interactions within the cation layers, and with octahedral geometry about individual Cd^II ions.
