Investigations of cyanides and cyano complexes of Cd and Hg have augmented tremendously since about 1990, after detection of inclusion compounds of Cd(CN)2. A thorough review on transition-metal cyanides especially emphasizes the chemistry of inclusion compounds of both the Hofmann type (frameworks dominated by planar Ni(CN)4 building blocks) and the cyanocad-mate type (frameworks with tetrahedral Cd(CN)4 units).87 The structures of these inclusion compounds, but also of cyanides themselves, often topologically resemble the structures of minerals this aspect ( mineralomimetic chemistry ) is dealt with in a simultaneous survey.88 A more generic review of framework structures, with a section on cyanide inclusion compounds, is also to be mentioned.90... 

We shall now focus upon 2D and 3D structures that will be oiganized by dimensionality of architecture and chemical components and draw mineralomimetic analogies. In terms of chemical composition, we shall focus upon purely organic networks, which are typically sustained by hydrogen bonds and stacking interactions, and metal-oiganic structures that are based upon coordinate covalent bonds. 

The term mineralomimetic chemistry was proposed to denote the chemistry of the build-up of mineral-like structures using materials...
