Abstract:The preparation, single-crystal X-ray crystallography and magnetic properties are reported for two single-zigzag chain complexes {[W(CN)(8)][Ni(imi)(4)]}center dot Bu4N center dot CH3OH center dot 2H(2)O (1) and {[Mo(CN)(8)][Ni(imi)(4)]}center dot Bu4N center dot 2H(2)O (2) (imi = imidazole, Bu = normal-butyl). The structure studies reveal that both complexes feature one-dimension anion chains linked by [W(CN)(8)](3-) units in 1 or [Mo(CN)(8)](3-) units in 2. Magnetic studies show that strong ferromagnetic exchange is operative within the W-V(mu-CN)Ni-II units for (1) and Mo-V(mu-CN)Ni-II units for (2). (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
