Synthesis and Characterization of Iron Bispyridine Bisdicyanamide, Fe[CHN][N(CN)].

Fe[CHN][N(CN)] () was synthesized from a reaction of stoichiometric amounts of NaN(CN) and FeCl·4HO in a methanol/pyridine solution. Single-crystal and powder diffraction show that crystallizes in the monoclinic space group 2/ (no. 12), different from Mn[CHN][N(CN)] (2/, no.

Syntheses and Characterization of Diammine-Nickel/Cobalt(II)-Bisdicyanamide M(NH)[N(CN)] with M = Ni and Co.

Crystals of M(NH)[N(CN)] with M = Ni and Co were obtained from the reaction of stoichiometric amounts of Na[N(CN)] with NiCl·6HO or CoCl·6HO in aqueous, ammoniacal solutions. X-ray single-crystal structure analyses show that M(NH)[N(CN)] with M = Ni and Co crystallize isotypically to each other and adopt the monoclinic space group P2/ c (no. 14).
