    Abstract

    By employing the common precursor Na3[Fe(CN)5(NH 3)]·3H2O in a new synthetic approach, the azidopentacyanoferrate(III) ion has been isolated and structurally characterized as (Ph4As)2[Na(H2O)4][Fe(CN) 5(N3)] 1. In order to confirm its building block ability, compound 1 has been reacted with the mononuclear complex [Mn(valphen)(H 2O)2]ClO4 (H2valphen represents the Schiff base resulting from the condensation of o-vanillin with 1,2-phenylenediamine in a 2:1 M ratio) to afford the new MnIII- FeIII heterometallic system [Mn(valphen)(H2O) 2]2[(H2O)(valphen)Mn(μ-CN)Fe(CN) 4(N3)]·8H2O 2. The crystal structure of compound 2 reveals a supramolecular assembly generated by [(H 2O)(valphen)Mn(μ-CN)Fe(CN)4(N3)] 2- dianions and discrete [Mn(valphen)(H2O) 2]+ counterions. The dynamic magnetic measurements of compound 2 point to a slow relaxation of the magnetization. © 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
