title: A CNT-like coordination tube with cyano-bridges.
abstract: Reaction of K2[Ru(bipy)(CN)4] with MnCl2 produces a novel bimetallic compound {Mn(H2O)2[Ru(bipy)(CN)4]} (bipy = 2,2'-bipydine), exhibiting a CNT-like structure bridged by cyanide groups and high thermal stability, which has been first observed in coordination polymers.
