Two new hetero-tetranuclear complexes, [Sm₂(o-phen)₂(DMF)₆(H₂O)₂(µ-CN)₄Fe₂(CN)₈]·;5H₂O·;CH₃OH (1) and [Sm₂(o-phen)₂(DMF)₆(H₂O)₂(µ-CN)₄Co₂(CN)₈]·;5H₂O (2), have been prepared from reaction of SmCl₃·;6H₂O, K₃[Fe(CN)₆]·;3H₂O or K₃[Co(CN)₆], and o-phen in methanol/DMF, and characterized. The structure of 1 consists of a cyano-bridged discrete cyclic tetranuclear complex in which the Sm(III) and Fe(III) centers are linked by four CN groups. Mössbauer spectrum of ⁵⁷Fe indicates that both Fe(III) atoms in 1 have the same low-spin (S?=?1/2) electronic ground state. From comparison of the magnetic data of 1 and 2, at low temperature for 1 indicates weak ferromagnetic coupling between Sm(III) and Fe(III).     

A Novel 3‐D Heterobimetallic Cyano‐bridged Coordination Polymer Incorporating Ag···Ag Interaction: [Cu(dien)Ag(CN)2]2[Ag2(CN)3][Ag(CN)2]

A three‐dimensional cyano‐bridged copper(II) complex, [Cu(dien)Ag(CN)₂]₂[Ag₂(CN)₃][Ag(CN)₂] ( 1 ) (dien = diethylenetriamine), has been prepared and characterized by X‐ray crystallography. Complex 1 crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2₁/n with a = 6.988(2), b = 17.615(6), c = 12.564(4) Å, β = 90.790(5)°. The crystal consists of cis‐[Cu(dien)]²⁺ units bridged by [Ag(CN)₂]^— to form a zig‐zag chain. The Ag atoms of the free and bridging [Ag(CN)₂]^— link together to form additional infinite zig‐zag chains with short Ag···Ag distances. The presence of Ag···Ag interactions effectively increases the dimensionality from a 1‐D chain to a 3‐D coordination polymer.     

A charge‐transfer salt composed of methyl viologen and hexacyanidoferrate(II)

The methyl viologen dication, used under the name Paraquat as an agricultural reagent, is a well‐known electron‐acceptor species that can participate in charge‐transfer (CT) interactions. The determination of the crystal structure of this species is important for accessing the CT interaction and CT‐based properties. The title hydrated salt, bis(1,1′‐dimethyl‐4,4′‐bipyridine‐1,1′‐diium) hexacyanidoferrate(II) octahydrate, (C₁₂H₁₄N₂)₂[Fe(CN)₆]·8H₂O or (MV)₂[Fe(CN)₆]·8H₂O [MV²⁺ is the 1,1′‐dimethyl‐4,4′‐bipyridine‐1,1′‐diium (methyl viologen) dication], crystallizes in the space group P 2₁/c with one MV²⁺ cation, half of an [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ anion and four water molecules in the asymmetric unit. The Fe^II atom of the [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ anion lies on an inversion centre and has an octahedral coordination sphere defined by six cyanide ligands. The MV²⁺ cation is located on a general position and adopts a noncoplanar structure, with a dihedral angle of 40.32 (7)° between the planes of the pyridine rings. In the crystal, layers of electron‐donor [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ anions and layers of electron‐acceptor MV²⁺ cations are formed and are stacked in an alternating manner parallel to the direction of the −2a + c axis, resulting in an alternate layered structure.

Structurally Chemical Investigation of Monoammin Copper (I) Complexes : [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₆], [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₄] and Cu₃[Co(CN)₆] · 2NH₃ The preparation and the properties of [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₆], [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₄] and Cu₃[Co(CN)₆] · 2NH₃ are described.

The coordination number of the Cu⁺ is 4 in [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₆] and 3 in [CuNH₃]₂[Pt(CN)₄]. In the Cu₃[Co(CN)₆] · 2 NH₃ complex two Cu atoms have the coordination number 2, the third Cu atom 4.     

Synthesis, properties, and thermal decomposition of compounds [Co(En)3][Fe(CN)6] · 2H2O and [Co(En)3]4[Fe(CN)6]3 · 15H2O

Binary complex salts, [Co(En)₃][Fe(CN)6] · 2H₂O and [Co(En)₃]₄[Fe(CN)₆]₃ · 15H₂O, are synthesized. The properties of the salts and their thermolysis in air, dihydrogen, and argon are studied. Oxides of the central ions of the binary complex salts are found to be the thermolysis products in an oxidative atmosphere. Solid solutions (intermetallic compounds) CoFe are the thermolysis products in the reductive atmosphere, whereas intermetallides containing considerable amounts of C and N and an impurity of Co and Fe oxides are the thermolysis products in an inert atmosphere. Gaseous thermolysis products in dihydrogen and argon are NH₃, hydrocarbons, and ethylenediamine.     

Potentiometric method for determination of kinetic characteristics of radical reactions in aqueous media

Kinetic features of the reactions of K₄[Fe(CN)₆] with radicals initiated by water-soluble azo-initiator 2,2′-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) at 37 °C were studied using the potentiometric method. Potassium ferrocyanide was shown to be a radical acceptor, whereas K₃[Fe(CN)₆] formed by the oxidation with the radicals in combination with K₄[Fe(CN)₆] is an electrochemical system, the study of which makes it possible to determine kinetic characteristics of radical reactions. The rate constants for the reactions of peroxide radicals RO₂ · with K₄[Fe(CN)₆] were calculated.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and non-linear optical properties of a new cyanide-containing compound

Reaction of K₃[Fe(CN)₆], NiCl₂ and diethylenetriamine (dien) resulted in the formation of a cyanide-containing heterometallic compound [Ni(dien)₂]₂[Fe(CN)₆]·4H₂O 1. The structure consists of two octahedral [Ni(dien)₂]²⁺ cations, one octahedral [Fe(CN)₆]^4? anion and four crystallization water molecules, which are held together by hydrogen-bonding interactions. Its TG curve exhibits two stages of mass loss. Compound 1 in DMF solutions has a very strong third-order non-linear optical (NLO) behavior with an absorption coefficient and refractive index α₂?=?1.10?×?10^?11?m?w^?1, n ₂?=??3.05?×?10^?19?m²?w^?1, respectively, and third-order NLO susceptibility χ⁽³⁾ 4.34?×?10^?13?esu.     

The complexes [Ni a (Pn) b ] x [Fe(CN)6] y (Pn = 1,3-Diaminopropane): Synthesis and thermolysis

The complexes [Ni(Pn)₂]₂[Fe(CN)₆] · 3H₂O (I), [Ni₃(Pn)₅][Fe(CN)₆]₂ · 9H₂O (II), [Ni₅(Pn)₉][Fe(CN)₆]₃ · 9H₂O (III), and [Ni(Pn)₂]₃[Fe(CN)₆]₂ · 6H₂O (IV) (Pn = 1,3-diaminopropane) were obtained. Their thermolysis was studied in oxidative (air), reductive (hydrogen), and inert atmospheres (argon) in a temperature range from 20 to 1000°C. Solid and gaseous products of the thermolysis were identified. In air thermolysis, the carbon of the ligands is eliminated as CO and CO₂; the solid residues consist of nickel oxide, iron oxides, and the intermetallide Ni₃Fe. In hydrogen thermolysis, the ligands are eliminated partially unchanged and partially hydrogenated to ammonia and hydrocarbons. The solid residue at >550°C consists of bimetallic phases with a small carbon impurity. In argon thermolysis, the ligands are eliminated partially unchanged or as fragments of the Pn molecule. The solid residues produced by calcination contain a mixture of metal and oxide phases and 10 to 20% of the initial carbon content.     

Hydrate isomerism in [Cu(en)2(H2O)1.935]2[Fe(CN)6]·4H2O

The title compound, bis[di­aqua­bis­(ethyl­enedi­amine‐κ²N,N′)copper(II)­] hexa­cyano­iron(II) tetrahydrate, [Cu(C₂H₈N₂)₂(H₂O)_1.935]₂[Fe(CN)₆]·4H₂O, was crystallized from an aqueous reaction mixture initially containing CuSO₄, K₃[Fe(CN)₆] and ethyl­enedi­amine (en) in a 3:2:6 molar ratio. Its structure is ionic and is built up of two crystallographically different cations, viz. [Cu(en)₂(H₂O)₂]²⁺ and [Cu(en)₂(H₂O)_1.87]²⁺, there being a deficiency of aqua ligands in the latter, [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ anions and disordered solvent water mol­ecules. All the metal atoms lie on centres of inversion. The Cu atom is octahedrally coordinated by two chelate‐bonded en mol­ecules [mean Cu—N = 2.016 (2) Å] in the equatorial plane, and by axial aqua ligands, showing very long distances due to the Jahn–Teller effect [mean Cu—O = 2.611 (2) Å]. In one of the cations, significant underoccupation of the O‐atom site is observed, correlated with the appearance of a non‐coordinated water mol­ecule. This is interpreted as the partial contribution of a hydrate isomer. The [Fe(CN)₆]⁴⁻ anions form quite regular octahedra, with a mean Fe—C distance of 1.913 (2) Å. The dominant intermolecular interactions are cation–anion O—H⋯N hydrogen bonds and these inter­actions form layers parallel to (001).

[Ni(dien)₂]₃[W₄S₄(CN)₁₂]·20H₂O and [Cu(dien)(Hdien)]₂[W₄S₄(CN)₁₂]·8H₂O were obtained by evaporating water-ammonia solutions containing K₆[W₄S₄(CN)₁₂]·2H₂O·2CH₃OH, diethylene triamine, and NiCl₂·6H₂O or CuCl₂·6H₂O. The crystals of the complex compounds were obtained within 3 days. The complex compounds were characterized by IR spectroscopy and by XRD and elemental analysis.

Crystal structure and magnetic properties of a three-dimensional complex constructed from [CuL]2+ and [Fe(CN)6]3− precursors

Self-assembly of the precursor [Cu(L)]²⁺ (L = 3,10-dipropyl-1,3,5,8,10,12-hexaazacyclotetradecane) with hexacyanometalate [Fe(CN)₆]³⁻ produces a 3-D cyano-bridged Cu(II)–Fe(III) bimetallic assembly, [CuL]₂[Fe(CN)₆]ClO₄ · H₂O (1), characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, and magnetic measurements. The crystallographic determination reveals that each hexacyanoferromate(III) ion connects four copper(II) ions using four co-planar CN⁻ groups which axially coordinate to the copper ion in a trans fashion forming trans-CuL(N≡C)₂ moieties in (1). Magnetic studies reveal that (1) displays a ferromagnetic interaction between Cu(II) and Fe(III) through the CN linkage.     

Über die Kristallstrukturen der Cyanokomplexe [Co(NH3)6][Fe(CN)6], [Co(NH3)6]2[Ni(CN)4]3 · 2 H2O und [Cu(en)2][Ni(CN)4]

On the Crystal Structures of the Cyano Complexes [Co(NH₃)₆][Fe(CN)₆], [Co(NH₃)₆]₂[Ni(CN)₄]₃ · 2 H₂O, and [Cu(en)₂][Ni(CN)₄] Of the three title compounds X‐ray structure determinations were performed with single crystals. [Co(NH₃)₆][Fe(CN)₆] (a = 1098.6(6), c = 1084.6(6) pm, R3, Z = 3) crystallizes with the CsCl‐like [Co(NH₃)₆][Co(CN)₆] type structure.

For [Cu(en)₂][Ni(CN)₄] (a = 650.5(3), b = 729.0(3), c = 796.5(4) pm, α = 106.67(2), β = 91.46(3), γ = 106.96(2)°, P1, Z = 1) the results of a structure determination published earlier have been confirmed. The compound is weakly paramagnetic and obeys the Curie‐Weiss law in the range T < 100 K. The distances within the complex ions of the compounds investigated (Co–N: 195.7 and 196.4 pm, Ni–C: 186.4 and 186.9 pm, resp.) and their hydrogen bridge relations are discussed.

MÖSSBAUER- und Infrarotspektren von Addukten des K4[Fe(CN)6] mit Antimontrihalogeniden

Mössbauer- and IR Spectra from the Addition Compounds of K₄[Fe(CN)₆] with Antimony Trihalides By the reaction of K₄[Fe(CN)₆] with SbX₃ in the melt (X = Cl, Br) or in SO₂ solution (X = F) the addition compounds K₄[Fe(CNSbX₃)₆] (X = F, Cl) and K₄[Fe(CNSbX₃)₄(CN)₂] (X = Cl, Br) are formed. The IR spectra of these compounds have been interpreted. The MÖSSBAUER spectra are single lines which exhibit a slight broadening compared with K₄[Fe(CN)₆] · 3 H₂O. The values of the isomer shifts following the order of the LEWIS acid strengths of the SbX₃ molecules correspond to a small but significant increase of the s-electron density, which is explained by the increasing influence of the π-acceptor function of the ligands.     

Bis­[tris(2,2′‐bi­pyridine‐κ2N,N′)­ruthenium(II)] hexa­cyano­ferrate(III) chloride octahydrate

In the title compound, [Ru^II(C₁₀H₈N₂)₃]₂[Fe^III(CN)₆]Cl·8H₂O, the [Ru(bpy)₃]²⁺ (bpy is 2,2′‐bi­pyridine) cations and water mol­ecules afford intriguing microporous honeycomb layers, while the [Fe(CN)₆]³⁻ anions and the remainder of the water mol­ecules form anionic sheets based on extensive hydrogen‐bonding networks. The cationic and anionic layers alternate along the c axis. The Fe atom in [Fe(CN)₆]³⁻ lies on an inversion centre and the axial cyano ligands are hydrogen bonded to the water mol­ecules encapsulated within the micropores [N⋯O = 2.788 (5) Å], giving an unusual interpenetration between the cationic and anionic layers. On the other hand, the in‐plane cyano ligands are relatively weakly hydrogen bonded to the water mol­ecules [N⋯O = 2.855 (7) and 2.881 (8) Å] within the anionic sheets.     

Slow Magnetic Relaxation,Antiferromagnetic Ordering,and Metamagnetism in MnII(H2dapsc)-FeIII(CN)6 Chain Complex with Highly Anisotropic Fe-CN-Mn Spin Coupling

Reactions of [Mn(H₂dapsc)Cl₂] ⋅ H₂O (dapsc=2,6- diacetylpyridine bis(semicarbazone)) with K₃[Fe(CN)₆] and (PPh₄)₃[Fe(CN)₆] lead to the formation of the chain polymeric complex {[Mn(H₂dapsc)][Fe(CN)₆][K(H₂O)_3.5]}_n ⋅ 1.5n H₂O ( 1 ) and the discrete pentanuclear complex {[Mn(H₂dapsc)]₃[Fe(CN)₆]₂(H₂O)₂} ⋅ 4 CH₃OH ⋅ 3.4 H₂O ( 2 ), respectively. In the crystal structure of 1 the high-spin [Mn^II(H₂dapsc)]²⁺ cations and low-spin hexacyanoferrate(III) anions are assembled into alternating heterometallic cyano-bridged chains. The K⁺ ions are located between the chains and are coordinated by oxygen atoms of the H₂dapsc ligand and water molecules. The magnetic structure of 1 is built from ferrimagnetic chains, which are antiferromagnetically coupled. The complex exhibits metamagnetism and frequency-dependent ac magnetic susceptibility, indicating single-chain magnetic behavior with a Mydosh-parameter φ=0.12 and an effective energy barrier (U_eff/k_B) of 36.0 K with τ₀=2.34×10⁻¹¹ s for the spin relaxation. Detailed theoretical analysis showed highly anisotropic intra-chain spin coupling between [Fe^III(CN)₆]³⁻ and [Mn^II(H₂dapsc)]²⁺ units resulting from orbital degeneracy and unquenched orbital momentum of [Fe^III(CN)₆]³⁻ complexes. The origin of the metamagnetic transition is discussed in terms of strong magnetic anisotropy and weak AF interchain spin coupling.
