Abstract

Layered copper-nickel cyanide, CuNi(CN)4, a 2-D negative thermal expansion material, is one of a series of copper(ii)-containing cyanides derived from Ni(CN)2. In CuNi(CN)4, unlike in Ni(CN)2, the cyanide groups are ordered generating square-planar Ni(CN)4 and Cu(NC)4 units. The adoption of square-planar geometry by Cu(ii) in an extended solid is very unusual.
