Lattice dynamics and negative thermal expansion in the framework compound ZnNi(CN)4 with two-dimensional and three-dimensional local environments

ZnNi(CN)4 is a three-dimensional (3D) framework material consisting of two interpenetrating PtS-type networks in which tetrahedral [ZnN4] units are linked by square-planar [NiC4] units. Both the parent compounds, cubic Zn(CN)2 and layered Ni(CN)2, are known to exhibit 3D and 2D negative thermal expa...
