Abstract
The coordination polymer 1 with a three-dimensional network of Co atoms is formed as shown below. Distorted octahedral Co(CN)6 structural units are present in 1, which are linked through SnMe3 bridges such that the partial structures …CoCN → SnMe3 ← NCCo… are formed. The Sn atoms are coordinated trigonal-bipyramidally. Since, surprisingly, two-thirds of the chains are nonlinear, no super Prussian blue analogue can form; such an analogue should contain cubic Co8 cages.

The white precipitate was filtered off (G4 sintered glass filter), washed in portions with 100mL of H2O, and dried in a drying cabinet at 100°C for 1h. M. p. = 335°C (decomp.).

The results of the two calculations differ only in the positions of the methyl groups on the linear [-CoCNSnNC-]∞ chains; a = 16.857 (6), b = 12.941(7), c = 14.664(5) Å, β = 106.99(3)°, V = 3083(4)Å3, Z = 4, θ/2θ-scan (4° <2θ <50°); from 5940 mostly symmetry-related reflections, 1123 independent reflections with |I|3 σ were obtained (in C2/c); R = 0.0780. -We thank Dr. J.

A solution of K3[Co(CN)6] (0.46 g, 1.4 mmol) in 30 mL of H2O, was rapidly added to the green filtrate. The finely dispersed, light-green precipitate was collected, washed with a small amount of H2O, and dried for ca. 2 h in high vacuum (ca. 30°C). Yield: 1.1 g (61.8%). Correct elemental analysis. Paramagnetism: μeff(293K) = 2.30 B. M. [25]. An X-ray powder diffraction pattern could not be obtained [15].
