Laser ablation of Zn(CN) 2 and Cd(CN) 2 gives rise to a series of anions [M x (CN) 2 x +1 ] − , which have helical structures according to density functional and force‐field calculations. M atoms with trigonal‐planar coordination and each bearing a terminal CN ligand are linked by linear MCNM bridges to form helices. The supramolecular helices are stabilized by interstrand coulombic interactions. The calculated structure of [Zn 27 (CN) 55 ] − is shown on the right = Zn, = C, = (N)
