The reaction between tris(ethyl­enedi­amine)­nickel(II) cations and hexa­cyanometallate(III) anions (M = Fe, Co) yields ordered bimetallic assemblies, catena-poly­[[tris­(ethyl­enedi­amine)­nickel-bis([mu]-hexa­cyano­iron-N,N')] trihydrate] and catena-poly­[[tris­(ethyl­enedi­amine)­nickel-bis([mu]-hexa­cyano­cobalt-N,N')] trihydrate], [{Ni(C2H8N2)2}3{M(CN)6}2]·3H2O, in which both cis and trans [Ni(en)2] and [M(CN)6] moieties are linked to give S-shaped Ni-NC-M-CN-Ni-NC-M-CN-Ni units which are cross­linked to give ribbons parallel to the b axis. The two compounds are isomorphous with mean metal-ligand distances Fe-C = 1.940 (3), Co-C = 1.844 (3) and Ni-N = 2.102 (2) Å for the iron, and 2.105 (3) Å for the cobalt compound. These compounds appear to be identical with those formulated as [Ni(en)2]3[M(CN)6]2·2H2O [Ohba, Maruona, Okawa, Enoki & Latour (1994). J. Am. Chem. Soc. 116, 11566-11567; Ohba, Fukita & Okawa (1997). J. Chem. Soc. Dalton Trans. pp. 1733-1737] which were indexed on a smaller unit cell and described as disordered.

Comment top

Hexacyanometalate ions [M(CN6)]n- have been shown (Dunbar & Heintz, 1997, and references therein) to act as building blocks to provide bimetallic assemblies exhibiting spontaneous magnetization. Kou et al. (1998) have reported the synthesis of a 2:1 compound [Ni(en)2]2[Fe(CN)6]NO3·3H2O which they obtained from the reaction between [Ni(en)3](NO3)2 (en = ethylenediamine) and K3[Fe(CN)6] but they were unable to obtain crystals suitable for X-ray diffraction. Our attempts at repeating their synthesis has yielded crystals which diffracted well but were found to be [Ni(en)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2·3H2O, (I). \sch

This compound contains both cis and trans [Ni(en)2]2+ cations linked by [Fe(CN)6]3- anions (Fig. 1) via cyanide bridges to give S-shaped Ni—NC—Fe—CN—Ni—NC—Fe—CN—Ni units which are cross-linked by the terminal cis-Ni(en)2 to give ribbons running along the b axis (Fig. 2). Fe—C distances vary from 1.929 (2) to 1.960 (2) Å with a mean value of 1.941 (3) Å, Ni—N distances from 2.071 (2) to 2.122 (2) Å mean value 2.102 (3) Å, C—N (cyanide) from 1.147 (2) to 1.157 (2) Å mean value 1.152 (1) Å, C—N (ethlylene diamine) 1.475 (3) to 1.488 (3) Å mean value 1.480 (1) Å, C—C 1.509 (3) to 1.522 (3) Å mean 1.518 (2) Å. The uncertainties given for the mean values are the sample standard deviations of the mean. Repeating the synthesis with an excess of Ni(NO3)2 still gave the 3:2 compound.

The structure is remarkably similar to that described by Ohba et al. (1994) for [Ni(en)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2·2H2O except that we found a unit cell twice as large as theirs, the small cell being obtained from ours by the transformation (1,0,0,1, 1/2,1,0, 1/2,0), and we believe the two compounds to be identical. We also found three waters of crystallization instead of two. Doubling the cell removes the apparent disorder of the trans Ni(en)2 moiety which had previously been observed and explains the very anisotropic displacement parameters previously observed for one of the monodentate cyanide groups. The analogous Co(CN)6 compound was described by Ohba et al. (1997) as being isomorphous with the Fe(CN)6 compound. We have prepared the cobalt compound and find that it too should be described on the the doubled unit cell, i.e. it is isomorphous with (I) and should be formulated as [Ni(en)2]3[Co(CN)6]2·3H2O, (II).

Co—C distances vary from 1.884 (3) to 1.917 (3) Å with a mean value of 1.899 (3) Å, Ni—N distances from 2.077 (2) to 2.128 (2) Å mean value 2.105 (3) Å, C—N (cyanide) from 1.143 (4) to 1.159 (3) Å mean value 1.151 (1) Å, C—N (ethlylene diamine) 1.476 (4) to 1.486 (4) Å mean value 1.481 (1) Å, C—C 1.507 (4) to 1.523 (4) Å mean 1.514 (2) Å. For both structures there is a wide spread in the values obtained for the Ni—N distances, for each cis-Ni(en)2 moiety one of the Ni—N(cyanide) bonds is short, 2.086 (2) and 2.072 (2) Å for the iron and 2.088 (2) and 2.077 (2) Å for the cobalt complex. The Ni—N(cyanide) distances for the trans-Ni(en)2 are also short. The curvature of the S-shaped fragments is achieved largely through the relatively large deviations from linearity at the nitrogen atoms of the cyanide groups, the Ni—N—C angles are in the range 149.7 (2)–154.4 (2)° for the iron compound and 149.9 (2)–154.6((2)° for the cobalt compound. Similar values are also found in Ni(en)2Ni(CN)4 (Černac et al., 1988) and in Ni(en)2Ni(CN)4·2.18H2O (Černac et al., 1990) a structure which also contains both cis and trans Ni(en)2 moities. The Ni—N—C—M groups linking the S's are closer to linearity with Ni—N—C angles of 168.1 (2) and 168.6 (2) and 168.0 (2) and 169.1 (2)° for the iron and for the cobalt complexes, and it is for these cross linkeages that the shortest Ni—N bonds occur. As expected (Sharpe, 1981) the CN stretching frequencies are slightly lower for the iron than for the cobalt compound. We could not however observe any significant difference in the C—N bond distances.

Experimental top

[Ni(en)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2·3H2O, (I): K3Fe(CN)6 (0.825 g, 2.5 mmol) was added to Ni(NO3)2·6H2O (1.454 g, 5 mmol) and ethylenediamine (0.901 mg 15 mmol) in water (100 ml), the colour changed from violet to yellow and then brown. Black crystals appeared after 3–4 d. IR spectra, KBr disc, recorded on a Perkin Elmer FT—IR spectrometer showed ν(CN) 2106, 2128, 2153 cm-1. [Ni(en)2]3[Co(CN)6]23.H2O, (II): as for (I) except that K3Fe(CN)6 was replaced by K3Co(CN)6, the solution remained violet and violet crystals appeared after a few days. IR spectra, KBr disc ν(CN) 2118, 2141, 2164 cm-1.

The crystals were cooled to 100 K by a stream of dry nitrogen produced by an Oxford Cryostream cooler (1986).
