Abstract

Irradiation-induced metastable states similar to those reported earlier in Na 2[Fe(CN) 5NO]·2H 2O and Ba[Fe(CN) 5NO]· 3H 2O were observed in single crystals, crystalline powders and solutions of nitrosylpentacyanoferrates of different cations, including alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and the bivalent ions of the iron group. Such states can be generated in all nitrosylpentacyanoferrate-containing substances. The decay temperatures of the metastable states were determined using differential scanning calorimetry and appear to be positively correlated to the lattice energy.
