The Intercalation Compound 1,4-Benzenediammonium Tetrachlorocadmate(II)

Crystals of 1,4-benzenediammonium tetrachlorocadmate(II), (C₆H₁₀N₂)[CdCl₄], contain two-dimensional anionic sheets in which each CdCl₆ octahedron shares four corners with adjacent octahedra {i.e. catena - poly [1,4-benzenediammonium dichlorocadmium-di-μ-chloro(2-)]}. Layers of organic diammonium cations are intercalated between the metal–halogen sheets.
