The first heterobimetallic one dimensional cyano bridged nitrosyl complex containing an alkaline earth metal: synthesis, characterization and crystal structure of the complex [Sr(Phen)2(DMF)2][Fe(NO)(CN)5]

A new Cyano bridged Sr(II)–Fe(II) nitrosyl complex [Sr(Phen)2(DMF)2][Fe(NO)(CN)5] (Phen = 1,10 Phenanthroline and DMF = Dimethylformamide) has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The structure analysis revealed that the complex has a one-dimensional chain of [Sr(Phen)2(DMF)2][Fe(NO)(CN)5] unit, which is bridged by a cyano group. In other words [Sr(Phen)2(DMF)2]2+ units are bridged by [Fe(NO)(CN)5]2−.
