Single crystal studies have shown that heterometallic complexes 1-3 form 3D polymers. Each M ion [M = Cr(III) in 1, Fe(III) in 2 and Co(III) in 3] is coordinated by six carbon atoms from cyanide ligands and adjacent metal ions are bridged by cyanide ligands to generate [Cd6M6(CN)(12)] clusters. Each Cd(II) ion is coordinated by four nitrogen atoms from 4epy ligands and two nitrogen atoms from cyanide ligands to distorted octahedral coordination geometry. In addition, thermal (TG/DTA) properties of the complexes were investigated. Powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) patterns of the complexes were recorded to control the phase purities.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessHexacyanochromate(III)Hexacyanoferrate(III)Hexacyanocobaltate(III)4-ethylpyridineCadmium(II)3DCoordination polymersArticle3541075108310.1007/s11224-023-02249-22-s2.0-85175691106Q2WOS:001103034300001Q2
