Abstract
Reaction between diquat (dq= 6 7-dihydrodipyrido-[1,2-a:2',1'-c]pyrazi nediium) and [M(CN)(8)](4-) (M = Mo or W) led to the isolation of (dq) (2)[M(CN)(8)]. 5H(2)O salts. Both salts were found to be isomorphic. T he [M(CN)(8)](4-) anion has an approximately dodecahedral D-2d configu ration. The structure consists of a three dimensional hydrogen bonded network. The intensely coloured solids (hydrated and anhydrous) show i on-pair charge-transfer (IPCT) interaction which is discussed in terms of their structure. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
