A novel tricyanoruthenium(III) building block for the construction of bimetallic coordination polymers.
Reaction of excess cyanide with a ruthenium(VI) nitrido complex bearing a tridentate Schiff base ligand produces a novel tricyanoruthenium(III) complex in which nucleophilic substitution of an imine hydrogen of the Schiff base by cyanide has occurred, this complex is a useful building block for the construction of 3d-Ru(III) magnetic materials.
