Abstract:This contribution reports the crystal structure, solved and refined from single crystal XRD data, of two cyanide‐based coordination polymers, with K[Cu2(CN)3] ⋅ H2O (1) and [Cd(H2O)]2Cd(H2O)2[Cu(CN)3Cu(CN)2]2 ⋅ 8H2O (2) as formula units. These coordination polymers are characterized by metal‐metal bonds between copper atoms. In 1, the framework is formed by Cu−Cu(CN)3 pseudo tetrahedral blocks linked by planar Cu2(CN)3 units. In this material, a defined Cu−Cu bond was identified, which is congruent with the co… Show more
