A Novel 3D Heterobimetallic Cyano-bridged Coor- dination Polymer {(NH_4)_2[Cd(H_2O)Fe(CN)_6]}_n:Synthesis and Crystal Structure

A novel heterobimetallic coordination polymer, {(NH4)2[Cd(H2O)Fe(CN)6]}n 1, has been synthesized by using the slow diffusion method and structurally characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/n, a = 7.4202(16), b = 14.939(3), c = 10.868(2) A and ? = 91.660(3)A. For 1, five CN groups of Fe(CN)6]4- are involved in bridging. The polymer displays a 3D open microporous framework with 5-connected uninodal(46.64) topology.
