ChemInform Abstract
The three-dimensional coordination polymer (III) crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2/m with Z = 1. The asymmetric unit of the structure is composed of two independent [Cr(CN)6]3- units and two different types of CuII centers. Each Cr(1) ion is connected to four [Cu(en)]2+ groups and each Cr(2) is bonded to four Cu(EtOH)2 and two Cu(en) moieties. The connectivity of the different building units leads to an unexpected 3D structure. Long-range ferromagnetic ordering is observed below 57 K as expected for a 3D system. (III) is the first CuII-containing Prussian blue analogue with spontaneous magnetization.
