Summary
Novel mixed-ligand cyanonitrosyl complexes of chromium(I), [Cr(NO)(CN)2(L)2(H2O)], (where L=2-, 3-, or 4-benzylpyridine, 2-(4-chlorobenzyl)pyridine, 2-, 3-, or 4-benzoylpyridine, 3-(4-methylbenzoyl)pyridine, or 2-, 3-, or 4-acetylpyridine) have been prepared by the interaction of potassium pentacyanonitrosylchromate(I) monohydrate, K3[Cr(NO)(CN)5]·H2O with L. The complexes, characterized by elemental analyses, magnetic measurements, e.s.r. and i.r. spectral studies, contain chromium(I) in a low-spind 5-configuration. An octahedral structure, where CN istrans to CN, L istrans to L, and NO istrans to water is proposed for all the complexes

Additional information
Enemark and Feltham(1) have proposed circumventing the problem of the non-innocent nature of the nitrosyl ligand by considering nitrosyls as containing the {MNO}n group, wheren is the number of electrons of M, plus the number of electrons in the π*-orbital of the NO (or more convenientlyn is the number of d-electrons if nitrosyl is regarded as being coordinated as NO+)
