In the title polymeric coordination compound, {[FePt(CN)4(H2O)2]·1.33CH3OH}n, the FeII cation (site symmetry 4/mm.m) is coordinated by the N atoms of four cyanide anions (CN−) and the O atoms of two water molecules, forming a nearly regular [FeN4O2] octahedron. According the Fe—N and Fe—O bond lengths, the FeII atom is in the high-spin state. The cyanide anions act in a bridging manner to connect the FeII and PtII atoms. The [Pt(CN)4]2– moieties (Pt with 4/mm.m) have a perfect square-planar shape. The latter anion is located perpendicular to the FeN4 plane, thus ensuring the creation of a three-dimensional framework. The features methanol solvent molecules of which 4/3 were located per FeII cation. These solvent molecules are located in hexagonal pores; they interact with coordinating water molecules through weak hydrogen bonds. Other guest molecules could not be modelled in a satisfactory way and their contribution to the scattering was removed by a mask procedure.

1. Chemical context
Cyanide-based complexes form a large group of coordination compounds, which can offer numerous structures and functionalities. As a result of the ability of the cyanide anion to act in a bridging way, this group often links two different metal cations, enabling the formation of one-, two- or three-dimensional frameworks. The beginning of the investigation of cyanide-based complexes dates back to the 18th century when Prussian blue was discovered (Dacarro et al., 2018). Since then, hundreds of cyanide-based complexes have been obtained and proven to be efficient as molecular magnets, in separation, condensation, storage, catalysis, polymer synthesis, switching, etc (Zakaria & Chikyow, 2017).
Among all cyanide-based complexes, Hofmann clathrate analogues attract considerable attention. This is a group of polymeric coordination complexes with general formula [M(L)x{M′(CN)y}z·n(guest/solvent) where M has an octahedral coordination environment with two L ligands in axial positions and four N atoms of bridging cyanide groups in equatorial positions, which link M and M′ metals into infinite layers (Powell & Rayner, 1949; Hofmann & Küspert, 1897). If the L ligand is bridging as well (e.g. pyrazine), the creation of a three-dimensional framework is observed (Niel et al., 2001). In addition, the chemical composition of Hofmann can easily be modified by variation of the guest/solvent molecules.
One of the attractive properties of Hofmann clathrate analogues is the ability of some complexes of this class to undergo spin crossover under the influence of external stimuli (Carmen Muñoz & Real, 2011; Kucheriv et al., 2021). The change of spin state can be observed in complexes of general formula [Fe(L)x{M′(CN)y}z] where L = azine or azole ligand, M′ = Cu, Ag, Au for y = 2, z = 2, and M′ = Ni, Pt, Pd for y = 4, z = 1 (Shylin et al., 2020; Kuzevanova et al., 2021).
In this paper we report a {[FePt(CN)4(H2O)2]·4/3CH3OH}n coordination polymer with a non-classical Hofmann-type framework.
2. Structural commentary
The FeII cation (site symmetry 4/mm.m; 3c) exists in an [FeN4O2] coordination environment (Fig. 1), which is formed by the N atoms of four cyanide anions in equatorial positions [Fe1—N1 = 2.155 (18) Å] and the O atoms of two water molecules in axial positions [Fe1— O1 = 2.15 (2) Å]. The similar lengths of the Fe—O and Fe—N bonds provide an almost ideal octahedral environment. The FeII—O and FeII—N bond lengths indicate that, at the temperature of the diffraction study, FeII is in the high-spin state. The cyanide anions connect the FeII and PtII atoms, whereby the latter (site symmetry 4/mm.m; 3d) has a perfect square-planar environment with a Pt1—C1 bond length of 1.953 (17) Å. Contrary to classical Hofmann clathrate arrangements (Kucheriv et al., 2021), the tetracyanidoplatinate(II) anions in the title compound are located perpendicular to the FeN4 plane, which ensures the creation of a three-dimensional framework (Fig. 2). As a result of the cubic symmetry of the no deviation from linearity is observed for the Fe–N–C–Pt fragments.
The title compound incorporates 4/3 methanol solvent molecules per [FePt(CN)4(H2O)2] unit, which are located in hexagonal pores (Fig. 3) and interact with the coordinating water molecules through O—H⋯O hydrogen bonds (Table 1). The framework features some additional highly disordered guest molecules, which could not be modelled satisfactorily. Their contribution to the scattering was removed with a mask procedure implemented in OLEX2 (Dolomanov et al., 2009). These disordered guest molecules reside in two types of void with total volumes of 138.3 and 20.3 Å3 corresponding to 36.4 and 2.6 electrons, respectively.

In comparison, two similar coordination compounds, viz. [Fe(H2O)2{Pt(CN)4]·2acetone (Kuzevanova et al., 2019) and [Fe(H2O)2{Ni(CN)4}]·2dioxane (Yuge et al., 1997), form infinite {FeMII(CN)4}∞ layers. The size of the available voids between the cyanidometallate layers in these two compounds allows the acetone or dioxane molecules to rotate freely, thus leading to a high disorder of the solvent. Both of these compounds, as well as the title compound, represent spectacular examples of how variation of the guest/solvent molecule can significantly influence the of the coordination framework. Whereas small molecules of methanol can fit inside the hexagonal pores of a three-dimensional framework, bulkier acetone or dioxane molecules cannot be placed there, thus inducing the creation of layers.
3. Database survey
A survey of the Cambridge Structural Database (Version 5.40; Groom et al., 2016) revealed 106 framework structures containing Fe–N–C–Pt fragments. Among them there are three structures with an [FeN5O] coordination environment [AMIJEN (Kucheriv et al., 2016), ZOHBEG and ZOHBIK (Wong et al., 2019)], three structures with an [FeN4O2] coordination environment [CEMJAI (Piñeiro-López et al., 2017), HOCRAU (Zhang et al., 2014) and OKITAF (Haraguchi et al., 2016)] and three structures that have two different FeII cations forming [FeN4O2] and [FeN6] octahedra [AMIJOX (Kucheriv et al., 2016) and VOKLIS, VOKLIS01 (Sciortino et al., 2014)].
4. Synthesis and crystallization
Crystals of the title compound were grown by slow diffusion between three layers in a 3 ml tube. The first layer was a solution of K2[Pt(CN)4] (0.02 mmol) in water (0.5 ml), the second was a mixture of water/methanol (1:1, 1.5 ml) and the third layer was a solution of Fe(OTs)2·6H2O (0.02 mmol) (OTs = p-toluenesulfonate) in methanol (0.5 ml). After two weeks, colourless crystals grew in the middle layer; these were collected and maintained under the mother solution until measured.
5. Refinement
Crystal data, data collection and structure . H atoms of water molecules and the methanol OH group were placed at calculated positions and refined as riding on the bonded O atom. The occupancy of methanol atoms was refined and found to be equal to approximately 0.5 and later restrained to half-occupancy. As a result of symmetry restrictions, H atoms of the water molecule are disordered over four positions and were constrained to have an occupancy of 1/4. The three H atoms of the methyl group are disordered over two sets of sites, and were refined as for an idealized methyl group and were allowed to rotate about the O—C bond. The H atom of the OH group is disordered over three sites. Its occupancy was restrained to coincide with half-occupancy of the complete molecule.

Geometry. All esds (except the esd in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell esds are taken into account individually in the estimation of esds in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between esds in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell esds is used for estimating esds involving l.s. planes. |
