Zero thermal expansion in a flexible, stable framework: tetramethylammonium copper(I) zinc(II) cyanide.

Tetramethylammonium copper(I) zinc(II) cyanide, which consists of N(CH(3))(4)(+) ions trapped within a cristobalite-like metal cyanide framework, has been studied by variable-temperature powder and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Its coefficient of thermal expansion is approximately zero over the...
