catena-Poly[[bis(N-ethylethylenediamine-[kappa]2N,N')copper(II)]-[mu]-cyanido-[kappa]2N:C-[dicyanido-[kappa]2C-palladium(II)]-[mu]-cyanido-[kappa]2C:N]

Abstract: The title compound, [CuPd(CN)4(C4H12N2)2]n, consists of one-dimensional chains. The Cu and Pd atoms are both located on centers of symmetry in an alternating array of [Cu(N-Eten)2]2+ (N-Eten = N-ethylethylenediamine) and [Pd(CN)4]2- units. The Pd-C distances of 1.991 (3) and 1.992 (3) Å are intermediate values compared with the analogous NiII and PtII complexes [Akitsu & Einaga (2007). Inorg. Chim. Acta, 360, 497-505]. Due to Jahn-Teller effects, the axial Cu-N bond distance of 2.548 (2) Å is noticeably longer than the equatorial distances [Cu-NH2 = 2.007 (2) and Cu-NHC2H5 = 2.050 (2) Å]. There are interchain hybrogen bonds, with N(-H)...N = 3.099(4) Å.
