Reaction conditions determine the product : The reaction of GdCl 3 and pre‐formed K[Cu(CN) 2 ] in DMF leads to a lanthanide–transition‐metal complex with a layered structure. Treatment of GdCl 3 with discrete quantities of CuCN and KCN, however, yields an inclusion complex with [Gd(dmf) 8 ] 3+ ions located within “pockets” (see picture) throughout a three‐dimensional array of [Cu 6 (CN) 9 ] 3− ions.
