Abstract
The title compound, (C20H20P)[Cd(C2N3)3], consists of ethyltriphenylphosphonium (EtPh3P(+)) cations filling voids in a three-dimensional anionic cadmium dicyanamide network. In the structure, each Cd(II) atom is connected to six neighbouring Cd(II) atoms through six separate dicyanamide ligands, forming cube-shaped cages. The three-dimensional anionic network encloses a solvent-accessible void space of 1851 Å(3), amounting to 69.3% of the unit-cell volume. Each cage accommodates only one EtPh3P(+) cation.
