Abstract

A cyano-bridged heteronuclear bimetallic complex [Ni(dmen)2{Ag(CN)2}2] · 0.5H2O (dmen = N,N′-dimethylethylenediamine) has been prepared and characterized by IR spectroscopy and X-ray Crystallography. The compound crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P21/c. The crystal structure of the complex consists of two independent centrosymmetric trinuclear molecules made up of a [Ni(dmen)2] +2 unit linked to two [Ag(CN)2]− anions in a trans configuration. The trinuclear units are joined by hydrogen bonding to form irregular chains.
