Abstract
The authors of the title paper (Spectrochim. Acta 79A (2011) 340-343) report the crystal growth of cadmium manganese thiocyanate CdMn(SCN)4 and its characterization by single crystal X-ray diffraction and infrared spectrum. Many points of criticism, concerning the crystal growth and reported experimental data are highlighted in this report.
