Preparation of57Fe enriched K4[Fe(CN)6] and K3[Fe(CN)6]

A simple method to prepare⁵⁷Fe enriched K₄[Fe(CN)₆] and K₃[Fe(CN)₆] is described. The yields of the products are much better than those reported in the literature so far. The enrichment is essential for⁵⁷Fe Mössbauer investigation in a variety of Prussiate type complexes and other inorganic compounds which are conveniently prepared from K₄[Fe(CN)₆] and K₃[Fe(CN)₆]. K₄[Fe(CN)₆] was obtained by reacting freshly prepared Fe(OH)₃ with glacial acetic acid and treating with iron acetate in boiling aqueous solution of KCN. The novel feature of the procedure to obtain K₃[Fe(CN)₆] is that the oxidation of K₄[Fe(CN)₆] has been carried out in the solid state by passing chlorine gas over the powdered specimen. K₃[Fe(CN)₆] was crystallised from alkaline solution of this oxidised powder. The compounds were characterised by Mössbauer spectroscopy.

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. [Co(NH₃)₆]₂[Ni(CN)₄]₃ · 2 H₂O (a = 805.7(5), b = 855.7(5), c = 1205.3(7) pm, α = 86.32(3), β = 100.13(3), γ = 90.54(3)°, P1, Z = 1) exhibits a related cation lattice, the one cavity of which is occupied by one anion and 2 H₂O, whereas the other contains two anions parallel to each other with distance Ni…Ni: 423,3 pm. 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.     

Zero Thermal Expansion in K0.46Co1.27[Fe(CN)6]·5.5H2O

Thermal expansion of materials is a comparatively easy‐understood physical property. Prussian blue analogues are of particular interest in engineering as new zero thermal expansion materials. We investigated the thermal expansion in K_0.46Co_1.27[Fe(CN)₆] · 5.5H₂O by x‐ray powder diffraction. This compound is a good example of a zero thermal expansion material. The origin of zero thermal expansion is considered to be the low frequency transverse vibrational motion of the cyano bridges.     

Fe L-edge XAS studies of K4[Fe(CN)6] and K3[Fe(CN)6]: a direct probe of back-bonding

Distinct spectral features at the Fe L-edge of the two compounds K3[Fe(CN)6] and K4[Fe(CN)6] have been identified and characterized as arising from contributions of the ligand pi orbitals due to metal-to-ligand back-bonding. In addition, the L-edge energy shifts and total intensities allow changes in the ligand field and effective nuclear charge to be determined. It is found that the ligand field term dominates the edge energy shift. The results of the experimental analysis were compared to BP86 DFT calculations. The overall agreement between the calculations and experiment is good; however, a larger difference in the amount of pi back-donation between Fe(II) and Fe(III) is found experimentally. The analysis of L-edge spectral shape, energy shift, and total intensity demonstrates that Fe L-edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy provides a direct probe of metal-to-ligand back-bonding.     

Die Struktur der Hydrate von Co3[Co(CN)6]2 und Cd3[Co(CN)6]2

The crystal structures of Co₃[Co(CN)₆]₂, 12 H₂O (a, = 10.210 ± 0.005 Å) and Cd₃[Co(CN)₆]₂, 12 H₂O (a = 10.590 ± 0.005 Å) have been determined by X-ray powder methods. According to the measured density the unit cell contains 1 1/3 formula units with 4 Co²⁺ (Cd²⁺) in 4a, 2 2/3 Co³⁺ in 4b, 16 C and 16 N in 24e, 8 H₂O_I near 24e, (96k) and 8 H₂O_II near 8 _c (192 l). Structure factor calculations based on the space group O_h⁵ - F m 3 m lead to the following final values of the reliability index R: 0.038 (Co₃[Co(CN)₆]₂, 12 H₂O) and 0.037 (Cd₃[Co(CN)₆]₂, 12 H₂O). The interatomic distances for the cobaltous compound (in parentheses for the cadmium compound) are: Co³⁺-C: 1.88 Å (1.89); C-N: 1.15 Å (1.17); Co²⁺-N: 2.08 Å (2.24); Co²⁺-O_I: 2.10 Å (2.27); shortest O_I-H-O_II-bonds: 2.89 Å (2.82). Co³⁺ is octahedrally coordinated by six carbon atoms, the divalent metal ion by four nitrogen atoms and two water molecules. The two different metal ions are connected by M²⁺-N-C-Co³-bonds to a threedimensional network. The infrared and electronic spectra are shown to be in agreement with the results of the structure analyses of these compounds. The observed positions of the OH-stretching vibrations lead to a hydrogenbond-length of 2.8–2.95 Å.     

Pd/C: A Recyclable Catalyst for Cyanation of Aryl Halides with K4[Fe(CN)6]

Aryl nitriles have been prepared from the corresponding aryl halides with potassium hexacyanoferrate(II) using Pd/C as a catalyst. No ligand or cocatalyst is required. This protocol also avoids the use of highly toxic alkali cyanides. Furthermore, the catalyst can be recycled via simple filtration and washing sequences.     

Tetracyanometallates with Complex Dien Cations: [Ni(dien)2][Ni(CN)4]·2H2O and [Ni(dien)2][Pd(CN)4]

The crystal structures of two square tetracyanocomplexes were determined. [Ni(dien)₂][Ni(CN)₄]·2H₂O (NDNCH) and [Ni‐(dien)₂][Pd(CN)₄] (NDPC) (dien = diethylene triamine) exhibit ionic structures consisting of mer‐[Ni(dien)₂]²⁺ cations and [Ni(CN)₄]^2‐ or [Pd(CN)₄]^2‐ anions, respectively. Moreover, the structure of NDNCH is completed by two water molecules of crystallisation. In both compounds hydrogen bonds contribute to the stabilisation of the structure. NDNCH dehydrates on air quickly yielding anhydrous [Ni(dien)₂][Ni(CN)₄] (NDNC). Its thermal decomposition proceeds in a complicated process followed by aerial oxidation of metallic nickel to NiO.

The activity coefficients of K₃[Co(CN)₆], Mg₃[Co(CN)₆]₂, and Ca₃[Co(CN)₆]₂,are examined. The results highlight close similarity with the correspondinghexacyanoferrate (III) salts. On dilution, K₃[Co(CN)₆], like K₃[Fe(CN)₆], approachesthe limiting law from the upper side, while Mg₃[Co(CN)₆]₂ and Ca₃[Co(CN)₆]₂tend to the limiting law from the opposite side, like Mg₃[Fe(CN)₆]₂,Ca₃[Fe(CN)₆]₂, Sr₃[Fe(CN)₆]₂, and Ba₃[Fe(CN)₆]₂. Both kinds of behavior agreewith theory for a model of hard spheres bearing electric charges +1 and –3 or+2 and –3, respectively. The paramater values of the Pitzer equation for activityand osmotic coefficients are reported.

The [Mo(CN)₈]^4– groups of the three compounds, prepared at about 275 K and easily decomposing, show but slightly distorted dodecahedral coordination (mean distances Mo–C: 216.3, 215.4 and 216.1 pm). Within the monoclinic complexes the anions twodimensionally form cyano bridges to the ammin cations [M(NH₃)₄]²⁺ and are connected with the resulting [MN₆] octahedra (Co–N: 215.1 pm, Ni–N: 209.8 pm) into strongly puckered layers. The trigonal complex exhibits a chain structure, as one [Ni(NH₃)₅]²⁺ cation is only bound as terminal octahedron (Ni–N: 212.0 pm). Details and the influence of hydrogen bridges are discussed.     

MII-N-diisopropoxythiophosphorylthiobenzamide complexing processes in M2[Fe(CN)6]-gelatin-immobilized matrices (M = Co,Ni, Cu)

Complexing processes in M^II-N-diisopropoxythiophosphorylthiobenzamide binary systems (M = Co, Ni, Cu) in metal(II) hexacyanoferrate(II) gelatin-immobilized matrices upon contact with aqueous–alkaline (pH = 12.0 ± 0.1) solutions of organic compounds have been studied. It has been shown that, in Co^II and Cu^II, the initial act of complexing involves destruction of the Co^II and Cu^II hexacyanoferrates(II) by OH^– ions, leading to formation of the corresponding hydroxides which react with the ligand indicated. In the both systems, successive addition of two ligand molecules per M(OH)₂ fragment occurs and [MB(OH)(OH₂)] and [MB₂] coordination compounds are formed (B^–-a singly deprotonated ligand form). In the Ni^II-N-diisopropoxythiophosphorylthiobenzamide system, the formation of three complexes, (Ni₂BOH)₂[Fe(CN)₆], [NiB(OH)(OH₂)] and [NiB₂] occurs.
