Hexacyanometallates Prussian Blue

Prussian blue — iron(III) hexacyanoferrate(II) is the archetype of sparingly soluble mixed valence polymeric metal hexacyanometalates with the formula Me Me(N) [Me c (CN)6] with (i), (N), and (C) indicating the position in the crystal lattice, where (i) means interstitial sites, (N) means metal coordinated to the nitrogen of the cyanides, and (C) means metal ions coordinated to the carbon of the cyanides. It is one of the oldest synthetically produced coordination compounds and was widely used as pigment in paints because of the intensive blue color. The compound has been studied extensively by electrochemical and other methods. The importance of Prussian blue in electrochemistry is related to the fact that it has two redox-active metal centers and that it has an open structure that allows small cations to... [Pg.554]

Extending this approach, using hexacyanometalate building blocks together with divalent transition metal complexes containing labile positions has afforded a variety of one-, two- and three-dimensional compounds with very different physical properties from those of the face-centred Prussian blues [20-22],... [Pg.284]

Prussian blue analogs are here defined as polynuclear transition metal cyanides of the composition M [M (CN)6]i xHzO a retallizing with a cubic unit cell. They are easily obtained as sparsely soluble precipitates by mixing solutions of a cyano complex M (CN)e with an appropriate salt of The compounds prepared by using the hexacyanometalate in the form of the most common potassium salt invariably contain different amounts of potassium, which in some cases can be exchanged by cesium... [Pg.3]

Whereas within the family of the cubic Prussian blue analogs a large number of lattice constants have been determined, little attention has been devoted so far to polymeric cyanides not belonging to the cubic system. It must be emphasized, however, that polynuclear cyanides having unit cell symmetries other than cubic are by no means rare exceptions. Hexacyanometalates(III) of Zn2+ and Cd2+ are obtained not only in a cubic modification but also as samples with complicated and not yet resolved X-ray patterns of definitely lower symmetry than cubic (55). The exact conditions for obtaining either modification are not yet known in detail. The hexacyanoferrates(II), -ruthenates(II), and -osmates(II) of Mn2+ and several modifications of the corresponding Co 2+ salts show very complicated X-ray powder patterns which cannot be indexed in the cubic system (55). Preliminary spectroscopic studies show the presence of nearly octahedral M C6-units in these compounds, too. [Pg.11]

When the assembly process involves hexacyanometallates and fully solvated metal ions, Prussian-blue phases are obtained, which are cubic 3D networks. Figure 33 shows the crystal structure of such a 3D cyano-bridged coordination polymer NaMnCr(CN)6- ... [Pg.502]
