Abstract
The host framework of Fe(NH3)2Ni(CN)4.2C4H5N 2 is isostructural with those of the other Hofmann-type clathrates. The pyrrole molecules in the interlayer space display the orientation disorder associated with the location of the nitrogen atom. The 57Fe Mössbaucr spectra show that the iron atoms are in Fe(II) high-spin states at both RT and 78 K.
