Abstract

The crystal structure of cadmium cyanamide was investigated by X-ray powder analysis and refined using the Rietveld method. Very fine powders of CdCN₂ in the nanometre range were obtained by chemical bath deposition. The size, shape and microstrain were characterised by X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The refined structure is very close to that of MgCN₂. Infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis were also performed to fully characterise the compound.
