Crystal structures of two mixed-valence copper cyanide complexes with N-methyl-ethylenedi-amine.

ABSTRACT: The crystal structures of two mixed-valence copper cyanide compounds involving N-methyl-ethylenedi-amine (meen), are described. In compound (I), poly[bis(μ₃-cyanido-κ₃C:C:N)tris(μ₂-cyanido-κ₂C:N)bis(N-methylethane-1,2-di-amine-κ₂N,N')tricopper(I)copper(II)], [Cu₄(CN)₅(C₃H₁₀N₂)₂] or Cu₄(CN)₅meen₂, cyanide groups link Cu^I atoms into a three-dimensional network containing open channels parallel to the b axis. In the network, two tetra-hedrally bound Cu^I atoms are bonded by the C atoms of two end-on bridging CN groups to form Cu₂(CN)_6</
