[TC1(CN)(3)(CO)(3)](2-) and [Re-1(CN)(3)(CO)(3)](2-): Case studies for the binding properties of CN- and CO
The cyano carbonyl complexes [Tc-99(CN)(3)(CO)(3)](2-) and [Re(CN)(3)(CO)(3)](2-) were synthesized and fully characterized. These complexes are additional members of the well-known d(6) transition metal complex series [M(CN)(3)(CO)(3)](n-). The analytical data obtained in this study thus offer a unique opportunity to study similarities and differences of cyanide and carbonyl binding in transition metal complexes.
