New Hofmann-diaminohexane(dahxn)-type clathrates of the form M(1,6-dahxn)Ni(CN)4.G (M = Co, Ni or Cd; G = chlorobenzene, 1,2-, 1, 3 or 1,4-dichlorobenzene) were prepared in powder form and their infrared spectra are reported. The spectral data suggest that these compounds are similar in structure to those of the Hofmann-diam-type clathrates. Their structure consists of planar polymeric layers, {M-Ni(CN)4}∞, formed from Ni(CN)4 anions coordinated to the bridging 1,6-diaminohexane molecules bound directly to the metal (M). The M atoms are bound to four N atoms of the CN ions and, the Ni atoms are surrounded by four C atoms of the CN groups in a square-planar layer.
