Abstract

A Cu(I)/Cu(II)/Zn(II) mixed-valent [Cu(en)2][Zn(NC)4(CuCN)2] polymer, which has a 2-D layer structure with six structurally inequivalent cyanides in four distinct bonding modes, has been prepared; structurally informative 13C and 15N MAS NMR spectra of this paramagnetic system are readily observable.
