title: [TcI(CN)3(CO)3]2- and [ReI(CN)3(CO)3]2- :case studies for the binding properties of CN- and CO.
abstract: The cyano carbonyl complexes [(99)Tc(CN)(3)(CO)(3)]2- and [Re(CN)(3)(CO)(3)]2- were synthesized and fully characterized. These complexes are additional members of the well-known d(6) transition metal complex series [M(CN)(3)(CO)(3)](n-). The analytical data obtained in this study thus offer a unique opportunity to study similarities and differences of cyanide and carbonyl binding in transition metal complexes.
