Crystal structure of a polycyano-polycadmate host clathrate including a charge-transfer complex of methylviologen dication and mesitylene as a guest

The crystal structure of a methylviologen dication (MV2+)-mesitylene clathrate, one of a newly synthesized polycyano-polycadmate host clathrates, including a charge-transfer complex of MV2+ and an aromatic molecule, has been revealed by X-ray diffraction.
