Abstract
The crystal structure of the title compound, [(C2H5)4N]2-[CdBr4], has been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction methods. The cryst al structure consists of isolated CdBr4 tetrahedra, two cations in a s wastika conformation (one ordered, one disordered) and one cation in a trans conformation. All cations show strong thermal motion. Automatic structure solution packages failed to yield a chemically relevant res ult. The structure solution by manual interpretation of the Patterson map is reported here.
