Synthesis, IR Spectrum, Thermal Analysis, and Crystal Structure of the Cyano‐bridged Heteronuclear Polymeric Complex: [Zn(teta)Ni(μ‐CN)2(CN)2]n

Abstract

AbstractThe heteronuclear polymeric complex, [Zn(teta)Ni(μ‐CN)2(CN)2]n (teta: triethylenetetramine), was synthesized and characterized by elementel analysis, FT‐IR spectroscopy, thermal analysis and single crystal X–ray diffraction techniques. The complex crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P21/c and in which the ZnII ion exhibits a distorted octahedral coordination by one tetradentate teta ligand and two bridging cyano groups as a trans position, whereas the NiII ion has square planer coordination and is coordinated by four cyano ligands. The decomposition reaction takes places in the temperature range 30–600 °C in the static air atmosphere.
