Ipy. Shek et al., A novel heterobimetallic Ni(II)-Ag(I) cyano-bridged coordination polymer incorporating Ag center dot center dot center dot Ag interactions: {[Ni(cyclen)][Ag(CN)(2)]}[Ag(CN)(2)], NEW J CHEM, 24(10), 2000, pp. 733-734
Reaction of nickel(II) acetate with cyclen (cyclen = 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclo
dodecane) and K[Ag(CN)(2)] gave {[Ni(cyclen)]-[Ag(CN)(2)] [Ag(CN)(2)], whic
h consists of cis-[Ni(cyclen)(2+) units bridged by [Ag(CN)(2)](-) to form a
zig-zag chain; the Ag atoms of the free and bridging [Ag(CN)(2)](-) also a
lign together to form an infinite zig-zag chain with short Ag ... Ag distan
ces.
