Abstract

New Hofmann type clathrates in the form of M(pp)2Ni(CN)4·2G (where pp = 1-phenylpiperazine, G = 1,4-dioxane and M = Ni, Co or Cd) have been prepared in powder form and their FT-IR and FT-Raman spectra are reported. The results suggest that the present compounds are similar in structure to the Hofmann type clathrates and their structures consist of conjugated polymeric layers of |M–Ni(CN)4|∞ with the pp bound to the metal (M) atom.
