From Monomers to Geometry-Constrained Molecules: One Step Further Toward Cyanide Bridged Wires
We report on the synthesis and properties of a family of linear cyanide bridged mixed-valence heptanuclear complexes with the formula: trans-[L₄Ruᴵᴵ{(μ-NC)Feᴵᴵᴵ(NC)₄(μ-CN)RuᴵᴵL′₄(μ-NC)Feᴵᴵᴵ(CN)₅}₂]⁶⁻ (with L and L′ a para substituted pyridine). We also report on the properties of a related pentanucl...
