Diethylammonium heptabromidedicadmium(II)

R. D. Willett and B. Twamley

Abstract: The trigonal compound, (Et₂NH₂)₃[Cd₂Br₇], contains Cd^II species with both tetrahedral and octahedral coordination. The [CdBr₄]^2- species exist as isolated anions, stabilized by hydrogen bonding from the diethylammonium cations. The octahedral species share faces, forming [CdBr₃] $_n^{n-}$ chains parallel to the trigonal axis.
