Materials Data on K2Cd(CN)4 by Materials Project
K2Cd(CN)4 crystallizes in the cubic Fd-3m space group. The structure is three-dimensional and consists of eight cadmium molecules and one K(CN)2 framework. In the K(CN)2 framework, K1+ is bonded to six equivalent N3- atoms to form distorted edge-sharing KN6 octahedra. All K–N bond lengths are 2.97 Å. C2+ is bonded in a single-bond geometry to one N3- atom. The C–N bond length is 1.17 Å. N3- is bonded to three equivalent K1+ and one C2+ atom to form a mixture of distorted corner and edge-sharing NK3C tetrahedra.
