Abstract
SummaryThe structure of a novel hexacyano cobaltate(III) of Cs and tetramethylammonium (TMA), Cs(TMA)2Co(CN)6, has been determined by single crystal x-ray diffraction using Patterson and Fourier techniques, and refined by least squares to R=0.053 for 126 independent reflections. The compound is cubic with ao=12.592(2) Å, space group Fm3m, Z=4.There is a cubic network of Co−CN−Cs atoms with Co−C and C−N distances of 1.87(2) and 1.18(2) Å respectively. The bulky (TMA) cations occupy the cubic voids in this network. The C−N distance of (TMA) is 1.38(2) Å. The Me groups are oriented towards the Cs atoms and there is hindered rotation of the CH3 groups. The Hatoms occupy positions at maximum distance from the C−N triple bonds, pointing to the faces of the octants of the unit cell.
