Abstract
A number of solvates with general formula M(L) n(anion) 2 is reported, in which L stands for benzylcyanide. The cations are the divalent ions of Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd; n is 6 in most cases except for one Cu compound (n = 4) and one Co compound (with n = 7). The anions used are SbCl 6−, InCl 4−, and FeCl 4−. No pure compounds with the BF 4− anion could be obtained. Physical measurements such as infrared spectra, ligandfield spectra, EPR spectra and Mössbauer spectra indicate regular octahedrons M(benzylcyanide) 6 2+ for all compounds, except those of Cu II. The ligandfield strength of benzylcyanide is close to that of CH 3CN and C 6H 5CN.
