| Abstract: | The crystal structure of the title bimetallic cyanide‐bridged complex, {KHoRu(CN)6(H2O)2]·2H2O}n, was determined by means of single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction techniques. The coordination about the central holmium(III) ion is eightfold in a square‐antiprismatic arrangement, while the ruthenium(II) ion is octahedrally coordinated. Channels permeating the crystal lattice contain the potassium cations and two zeolitic water molecules. The HoIII and K atoms lie at sites with mm symmetry and the Ru atom is at a site with 2/m symmetry. |
