Cs[Ag4Zn2(SCN)9]

Caesium tetrasilver dizinc nona­thio­cyanate, Cs[Ag₄Zn₂(SCN)₉], forms a continuous structure, where the Ag atoms and the S atoms of the thio­cyanate groups form chains which run along [101]. These chains are bonded together through the Cs and Zn atoms. It is not possible to distinguish between space groups P1 and P, but, if the latter space group is correct, the structure contains a thio­cyanate group disordered across a centre of inversion. The structure is described in space group P, in which the Cs atom also lies on a centre of inversion.

The thio­cyanate groups link the layers to Ca–O chains running parallel to the c axis. The Ca atom is located on a twofold rotation axis parallel to b and is surrounded by four water molecules of crystallization and four thio­cyanate N atoms in a distorted square antiprism.

One of the bridging cyano groups occupies the apical (ap) position [mean Cu—­N_eq = 2.02 (2) Å, and Cu—N_ap = 2.170 (3) Å; eq is equatorial]. Short argentophilic interactions in the range 3.16–­3.30 Å are present in the crystal structure.     

One‐dimensional polymeric chain structure of bis­(aniline)­di­thio­cyanato­cadmium(II)

A Three-dimensional Heteronuclear Polymer of [Ag2Fe（SCN）5（DMF）]n Containing Channels and One-dimensional Ag2S2-S-Ag2S2 Chains with Ag…Ag Interaction

Introduction So far, considerable attention has been paid to mag-netic interaction between two different metal ions.1-3 As a potential bridging ligand, thiocyanate can coordinate to a harder metal center with N atom and softer ones with S atom at the same time, resulting in the formation of small ferromagnetic coupling.2 On the other hand, the Fe(III) atom is a good candidate as a hard acid and Ag(I) is a good candidate as a soft acid, so that the Fe(III) centers could be expected to conn…     

K4VP2S9

The new quaternary group V thio­phosphate K₄VP₂S₉ (tetrapotassium vanadium di­phosphorus nona­sulfide) was prepared by reacting a mixture of K₂S₃, VP, P₄S₃ and S. The crystal structure consists of discrete [VS(PS₄)₂]⁴⁻ anions and K⁺ cations. The V⁴⁺ cation is in a fivefold coordination of S atoms which form a square‐pyramidal environment. Each VS₅ group shares a common edge with two bidentate [PS₄] tetrahedra, yielding the complete anion. The anions are stacked in the direction of the crystallographic b axis and are separated by the K⁺ ions.
