Abstract

A new cyanido-bridged bimetallic copper(II)- silver(I) complex, [Cu(Dach)2-Ag(CN) 2-Cu(Dach) 2] [Ag(CN) 2]3 (1) (Dach=cis-1,2-diaminocyclohexane), has been prepared and characterized by IR spectroscopy and single crystal X-ray analysis. The crystal structure of complex 1 consists of a centrosymmetric trinuclear cation and three non-coordinated [Ag(CN) 2] ? ions assembled in the form of a trimer, {[Ag(CN) 2] ?}3. The complex ion is made up of two [Cu(Dach) 2]2]+units connected by a bridging [Ag(CN) 2] ? anion. The copper atom in the complex ion assumes a distorted square pyramidal geometry with CN ? nitrogen atoms occupying the apical position. The trinuclear units are joined by hydrogen bonding to form irregular chains.
