New Hofmann-daon-type clathrates of the form M(1,8-diaminooctane)Ni(CN)(4). G (M = Co, Ni or Cd; G = 1,2-dichlorobenzene or 1,4-dichlorobenzene) were prepared in powder form and their infrared spectra are reported. The spectral features suggest that these compounds are similar in structure to the en-Hofmann-type clathrates and their structure consists of corrugated polymeric layers of {M-Ni(CN)(4)}(infinity) with the 1,8-diaminooctane spaned between two metal (M) atoms, of the consecutive two layers.
