[Ni(L)2]3[FeII(CN)6]X2
((L, X) = (ethylenediamine (en),
PF6-) (1), (trimethylenediamine
(tn), PF6-) (2), (tn,
ClO4-) (3)) were synthesized and
structurally characterized.
Compounds 1−3 crystallize in the trigonal
system of the space group R3̄ with a =
b = 13.743(1) Å, c =
17.802(2) Å, and Z = 3 for 1, a =
b = 14.588(1) Å, c = 17.050(2) Å,
and Z = 3 for 2, and a =
b = 14.337(2) Å, c
= 17.294(4) Å, and Z = 3 for 3.
All the assemblies have an isotropic three-dimensional network
structure extended
through Fe−CN−Ni linkages. The network is based on a cube
formed by 8 [Fe(CN)6]4-
anions at the corners
and 12 [Ni(L)2]2+ cations at the
edges. Two hexafluorophosphate or perchlorate anions are located
in the cavity
of the Fe8Ni12 cube and align along a
diagonal axis that coincides with the c axis. Magnetic
measurements show
a ferromagnetic interaction between the nearest NiII ions
through the diamagnetic FeII ion.
