Abstract

New Hofmann type benzene clathrates in the form of M(CyHEA)2Ni(CN)4·2benzene (where CyHEA=2-(1-cyclohexenyl)ethylamine and M=Ni or Cd) have been prepared in powder form and FT-IR and Raman spectra have been reported. The results suggest that title compounds are similar in structure to Hofmann type clathrates and their structures consist of polymeric layers of |M-Ni(CN)4|∞ with the CyHEA molecule bounded to the metal atoms (M).
