A new type of mineralomimetic cadmium cyanide host framework containing methyl acetate

Abstract

The use of the methyl acetate molecule as the guest has provided a novel mineralomimetic cadmium cyanide host Cd(CN)₂ framework with space group Pnma, which is more distorted than the analogous low temperature form of cristobalite with space group P4₁2₁2. The novel clathrate Cd(CN)₂ MeCO₂Me 1 crystallized in the orthorhombic space group Pnma with a=8.497(4), b=9.167(4), c=12.571(4) Å. The novel host framework is an example of a mineralomimetic Cd(CN)₂ framework which would suggest the possibility of a SiO₂ framework similar to 1.
