Abstract: | The title compound, catena‐poly[[μ‐cyano‐1:2κ2C:N‐dicyano‐1κ2C‐bis(N,N‐dimethylethylenediamine‐2κ2N,N′)palladium(II)copper(II)]‐μ‐cyano‐1:2′κ2C:N], [CuPd(CN)4(C4H12N2)2]n, consists of infinite quasi‐linear chains with all metal positions on centers of symmetry. The paramagnetic [Cu(dmen)2]2+ cations are linked by diamagnetic [Pd(CN)4]2− anions via bridging cyano groups, which occupy trans positions in both cation and anion, giving rise to 2,2‐TT‐type chains. The coordination polyhedron of the paramagnetic Cu atom is an octahedron exhibiting typical elongation due to the Jahn–Teller effect, with two longer Cu—N([triple‐bond]C) bonds in the axial positions [2.5528 (13) Å] and four shorter Cu—Ndmen bonds (dmen is N,N‐dimethylethylenediamine) in the equatorial plane [1.9926 (11) and 2.1149 (12) Å]. The Cu—N[triple‐bond]C angle is 138.03 (12)°. Neighboring chains form weak N—H⋯NC hydrogen bonds. |
