Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of a new three-dimensional cyano-bridged Ni(II)–Mo(IV) complex

The reaction of [Mo(CN)8]4− with {Ni(Me6-[14]ane-N4)}2+ (Me6-[14]ane-N4 = 5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1, 4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) led to a new three-dimensional cyano-bridged bimetallic assembly {Ni(Me6-[14]ane- N4)}2[Mo(CN)8] · 12H2O (1), which was characterized by IR, elemental analysis, ICP, TGA and SC-XRD. Magnetic behavior of complex 1 showed a weak antiferromagnetic interaction between Ni2+ ions through the diamagnetic [W(CN)8]4− bridges.
