The structure of Cd (CN) 2· CCl4 was solved and refined in the face-centered cubic space group mFd 3. It has been shown by 113Cd-NMR that in double-network Cd (CN) 2 the cyanide bridges are almost statistically disordered;[1] this same disorder is modeled in the present work by a glide plane in this space group which maps the cyanide C and N sites onto one another. The Cl atoms of the CCl4 guests are disordered about the threefold axes, modeled by three equivalent sites each of occupancy?.The samples used in this study were left to desolvate at 375 K under a nitrogen cryostream for periods of time ranging from 2 to 24 h, until the unit cell parameter became stable with time. Thermal expansion data were then collected on cooling: both variable temperature runs between 375 and 100 K and full structural determinations at selected temperatures were performed. Full structure determinations (see Fig. S1 for a depiction of the fully desolvated phase) were performed by collecting intensity data over a quadrant of the Ewald sphere in 360 frames spaced by intervals of 0.6. The exposure time ranged from 10 to 20 s depending on the size and diffraction properties of the crystal. Variable temperature runs were performed by in situ collection of matrices typically containing 3× 20 or 3× 25 frames; the temperature assigned to each set of unit cell parameters was that recorded at the midpoint of the relevant matrix.
