Abstract: Six new title compounds in the form of Cd(cyclobutylamine)₂M′(CN)₄ · 2G (M′ = Cd or Hg; G = benzene, 1,2-dichlorobenzene, or 1,3-dichlorobenzene) have been prepared in powder form. Their spectral data were found to be consistent with the structure of the Hofmann-T _d -type clathrates.

Keywords: inclusion compounds - cyclobutylamine - benzene - 1,2-dichlorobenzene - 1,3-dichlorobenzene - infrared spectra - metal complexes
