Synethesis and Crystal Structure of Bi(ethylenediamine)copper Tetracyanonickelate(Ⅱ)

The crystal structure of the title compound C8H16CuN8Ni has been determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal is triclinic with space group P1, a=6.494(3), b=7.270(4), c=7.936(5) .A, α=106.67(3), β=91.33(4), γ=106. 80(6)°, V=341. 3(3) A3, Z==1, Mr=346. 54, F(000)=177, μ=2. 933mm-1, Dc= 1. 686 Mg/m3. The final R factor is 0. 0603 for 1214 unique ob24- served reflections I≥2σ(I)]. The structure consists of Cu(en)2]2+ (eh=ethylenedi amine) cations and Ni(CN)4]2- anions linked together by two of the CN groups (the remaining two act as unidentate ligands) to form infinite chains, in the chain, the hy between the interchains also exist, with distances of 3. 160 and 3. 124 A , so it forms a three-dimensional structure of the title compound.
