The double cyanides of nickel and platinum form structures capable of enclosing also phenol, for example, as guest molecule. Such clathrates are Ni(NH3)2Pt(CN)4 2 C6HsOH and Ni(en)2Pt(CN)~ 9 0.14 CeHsOH. In the case of the tetracyano complexes, different thermal stabilities of their clathrate compounds could be achieved by alteration of the constituents of the cage structure and also of the guest molecules. According to the thermal behaviour, the clathrates may be divided'into two groups: those which release the guest molecules in the first step of thermal decomposition (Ni(NH3)2Pt(CN)4-2 C,HsOH), and those which lose the guest component only after partial destruction of the host cage (Ni(en)~Pt(CN)4 9 0.14 C~HsOH) 9 The temperature ranges of loss of the guest component may determine the interval for their use in sorptive experiments 9 The temperature range for release of phenol from Ni(NH3)2Pt(CN)a 9 9 2 C6HsOH is 55--244 ~ and from Ni(en)2Pt(CN)4 9 0.14 C6HsOH is 139-284 ~ The model host molecules NiPt(CN)4 9 6 H~O and Ni(en)3Pt(CN)4 9 3 H20 were also studied by thermal analysis 9The clathrate compounds of tetracyano complexes have been found [11 to exhibit higher thermal stabilities that other clathrate compounds described in the literature. This holds not only for the clathrate compounds themselves, generally written as M(NH3)2M'(CN)4 9 2 G and M(en)mM'(CN)~ " nG, but also for their host molecules the tetracyano complexes [2]. The host molecules have been prepared for a better understanding of the relations between the clathrate compounds, their properties described in the literature and also their behaviour in several sorptive processes [3].The double cyanides form structures capable of enclosing guest components present in the reaction medium during the synthesis of the double cyanide 9 By altering the constituents of the cage structures of the host molecules, we could achieve different thermal stabilities of the resulting clathrate compounds. We used M in the. form of Ni n, Cu u, Cd n and Znn; M' in the form of Ni 1I, Pt u and pdlI; and m = 1, 2 and 3.Equally, the interaction of the cage with the individual types of guest molecules influences the thermal stabilities of the synthesized clathrate compounds.

Tetracyanocomplex clathrates and their changes caused by heating were studied. The intermediates formed were characterized by IR and UV-VIS spectroscopy. Elemental analysis and XRD patterns were also used. For the visualisation of changes occurring on the surface and the distribution of metallic elements therein were studied by electron microscopy and EDX. The extent of the non-stoichiometric changes introduced by the topochemical course of the degradation reactions was correlated with the measured electrical values.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
