description

Mixing of trans-[Mn(cyclam)Cl2]Cl (cyclam = 1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) and potassium hexacyanochromate (K3[Cr(CN)6]) aqueous solutions instantaneously yields a 1D infinite chain complex {[Mn(cyclam)(l-CN)2Cr(CN)4]� H2O}n (1). The crystal structure of 1, crystallizing in the monoclinic system with space group P21/n has been solved from X-ray powder diffraction data following direct space approach and refined by the Rietveld method. The structure analysis of 1 reveals alternating [Cr(CN)6] 3� and [Mn(cyclam)] 3+
