Abstract
The title compound, [Ni(C 6H 24N 6)][CdI 4], contains two discrete ions, an [Ni(en) 3] 2+ (en = ethylenediamine) cation and a [CdI 4] 2- anion. The Ni 2+ ion is coordinated by three chelating ethylenediamine ligands in a distorted octahedral geometry while the Cd 2+ ion binds four iodide ions in a slightly distorted tetrahedron. Both the Ni and Cd atoms lie on threefold axes of rotation. The structure is disordered at cadmium, with two alternative sites for the metal in a 97:3 ratio; the minor component of the disorder inverts the CdI 4 tetrahedron and reverses the direction of propagation of the aligned [CdI 4] n 2 units.
