Abstract
The reaction of aqueous solutions of potassium tetracyanozincate, zinc chloride, and pyridine yields crystals of [Zn(py)(2)][Zn(CN)(4)]. The crystals are orthorhombic, space group Cccm, a = 926.7(4), b = 1340.5 (4), c = 1343.3(4) pm. The structure is polymeric and consists of alte rnate arrays of tetrahedrally and octahedrally coordinated zinc atoms, bridged by CN ligands. Two pyridine molecules ligate at the axial pos itions of the octahedrally coordinated zinc atoms.
