Syntheses and Characterization of Cyanide-Bridged Bimetallic Compounds Zn(terpy)(H2O)M(CN)4(terpy = 2,2′:6′,2′′-ter­pyridine;M= Ni, Pd, Pt) with Linear Chains

Cyanide-bridged heterobimetallic magnetic complexes based on metalloporphyrinate and tricyanometalate building blocks

Three novel cyanide-bridged metalloporphyrinate complexes were synthesized and characterized, and their magnetic properties have also been systematically investigated.

Synthesis, crystal structure and spectroscopic properties of one-dimensional zinc(II)–cyanide complex with 1-methylimidazole, [Zn(μ-CN)(CN)(1-meim)]n

A new one-dimensional Zn(II)–cyanide complex with 1-methylimidazole ligand, [Zn(μ-CN)(CN)(1-meim)]n (1-meim: 1-methylimidazole) has been synthesized and characterized by spectral (FT-IR and Raman) methods, elemental analysis, thermal (TG, DTG and DTA) analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, P2 1 space group. The asymmetric unit contains one Zn(II), one 1-meim and two cyanide ligands. The coordination sphere of the Zn(II) ion exhibits a distorted tetrahedral geometry. In the crystal structure, the symmetry related zinc(II) atoms are bridged by the cyanide anions to form one dimensional chains running along the b-axis. Intermolecular C–H···N hydrogen bonds link the adjacent polynuclear chains forming two dimensional layers through the R 18 18 ( 2 ) $R_{18}^{18}(2)$ ring motifs, where the layers formed are oriented in parallel to (020).
