Abstract: | The electronic structure and chemical bonding of anhydrous tin and lead hexacyanoferrates (II) have been studied using the linear muffin-tin orbital method in the tight-binding minimal basis set approximation and semi-empirical Hückel method. The hybridised s- and p-states of CN-groups were shown to have a dominant influence on the electronic structure of these compounds, that results in strong splitting of iron d-states. The chemical bonding C–N and Fe–C in the [Fe(CN)6]4–-complex are mainly covalent. Bonds between Pb(Sn) and N atoms are more weak covalent and anisotropic. The low stability of tin hexacyanoferrate is due to high anisotropy of Sn–N bonding. |
