Abstract
Abstract The tricyanomercurate(II) ion, [Hg(CN) 3 ] − , is isolated in the form of its solid caesium salt from a 1:1:1 ethanolic solution of CsF, KCN and Hg(CN) 2 , and characterised by IR and Raman vibrational spectroscopy. Assignments are made for the CN and HgC stretching vibrations and the HgCN bending vibrations. The spectra are consistent with the [Hg(CN) 3 ] − ion occupying a site of C 1 symmetry.
