Zinc cadmium selenocyanate

The crystal structure of a new bimetallic seleno­cyanate, zinc cadmium seleno­cyanate or poly[tetra-μ2-seleno­cyanato-cadmium(II)zinc(II)], [ZnCd(SeCN)4]n, is an infinite three-dimensional network in which the slightly distorted CdSe4 and ZnN4 tetra­hedra are connected by –SeCN– bridges. The whole structure can be viewed as a diamondoid network with Cd and Zn nodes and –SeCN– spacers.
