Abstract: The title compound, -cyano-1:2²C:N-tetracyano-1C-[3,7-bis(2-aminoethyl)-1,3,5,7-tetraazabicyclo[3,3,2]decane-2⁴N^1,3,5,7]-nitrosyl-1N-copper(II)iron(II) monohydrate, [CuFe(CN)₅(C₁₀H₂₄N₆)(NO)]·H₂O, has been synthesized and structurally characterized; the Cu atom is five-coordinate and has a square pyramidal configuration. The [Fe(CN)₅(NO)]^2- anion uses the CN^- ligand cis to the NO⁺ ligand to link to the Cu atom. The Cu-NC-Fe linkage is nonlinear, similar to that in other cyano-bridged bimetallic complexes.
