Inorganic chemistry diamagnetic complex

Pesek, J.J. and Mason, W.R. (1979) Carbon-13 magnetic resonance spectra of diamagnetic cyano complexes. Inorganic Chemistry, 18, 924—928. 

Recently Krogmann et al postulated a cation-deflcient, partially oxidized formulation for this material, K o.5lr(CO)2Cl2, and a columnar structure in the solid (16). This one-dimensional structure is consistent with the observed diamagnetism, stoichiometry, IR spectra, dc conductivity, and visual appearance of the complexes. Preliminary powder x-ray data support this formulation with a short 2.86 A Ir-Ir distance. This information sets a basis for the interpretation of detailed optical, electrical, and magnetic measurements that will help in further understanding of the chemistry and physics of one-dimensional inorganic complexes.
