Abstract

A cyanido-bridged Cu(II)–Ag(I) bimetallic complex, [Cu(Imidazole)4{Ag(CN)2}2] has been prepared and structurally characterized. The compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pmna. The crystal structure of the complex consists of trinuclear molecules made up of one [Cu(Imidazole)4]+2 and two [Ag(CN)2]− units. The trinuclear molecules are interlinked to each other through N–H–N and C–H–N hydrogen bonds. The Cu(II) ions are located on mirrors and assume distorted octahedral geometry with the basal plane consisting of four imidazole N-atoms.
