Abstract Two new Hofmann-Td-type complexes, Mn(pyridine)$d(CN)4 and Mn(pyridine)zHg(CN)4, have been prepared and their infrared spectra are reported.
1. Introduction
Among Hofmann-type and analogous host frameworks, a group of complexes with the general formula CdL2M(CN)4, where L2 is a bidentate or a pair of monodentate ligand molecules containing N-donor atoms and M is Cd or Hg, is of special interest, since their structures act as excellent reservoirs for the thermally unstable chemical species such as cyclohexadienyl (C6H6) radicals [I]. In these compounds the host framework is formed from infinite -Cd-L2-Cd-L2chains extending along the a and b axes alternately and the tetrahedral M(CN), ions are arranged between the consecutive crossing -Cd-L&dLz- chains with the N-ends bound to the Cd atoms [2-81. This structure provides two kinds of cavities, a and p, for the guest molecules. The Q cavity has approximateiy the shape of a rectangular prism similar to those in Hofmann-type hosts, while the ,B cavity has the shape of a biprism, as *Correspondingauthor.
has been demonstrated in previous papers 12-41. The compounds possessing this type of host framework reported to date have only been confined to the Cd metal atom in an octahedral environment. Recently, Kasap [9] and Kasap and Kantarci [lo] prepared two novel Td-type benzene clathrates, Mn(NHs)2M(CN)4 - 2C6H6 (M = Cd or Hg). We have now prepared two new dipyridinemanganese (II) tetracyanometalate(I1) host complexes, Mn(pyridine)~M(CN)~ (M = Cd or Hg). In this study, the infrared spectroscopic results for Mn(II)(pyridine)zCd(II)(CN)4 (abbreviated to Mn-Cd-py) and Mn(II)(pyridine)zHg(II)(CN)4 (abbreviated to Mn-Hg-py~ are reported. For the purposes of comparison and discussion concerning the structure of these compounds, the infrared spectral data of the complex ~d(pyridine)~Cd(~N)~ (abbreviated to Cd-Cdpy) [I I] are quoted, since a single crystal X-ray structural study [12] has shown that this complex possesses a Hofmann-T&ype host framework.

2. Ex~~mental All chemicals used were reagent grade (Merck) and used without further purification. The complexes were prepared by adding slightly more than 2 mmoles of pyridine and 1 mmole of potassium tetracyanometalate solution in water to 1 mmole of Mn(I1) chloride solution in water. The brown precipitate was filtered, washed with water, ethanol and ether successively, and stored in a desiccator. The freshly prepared samples were analyzed for Mn and Cd with a Philips P49200 atomic absorption spectrophotometer, and for C, H and N with a Leco CHN-600 analyzer with the results as follows. Calculated for Mn-Cd-py: Mn, 12.79; Cd, 26.17; C, 39.14; H, 2.35; N, 19.56. Found: Mn, 12.89; Cd, 26.28; C, 38.60; H, 2.42; N, 19.10. Calculated for Mn-Hg-py: Mn, 10.61; C, 32.47; H, 1.95; N, 16.23. Found: Mn, 10.40; C, 31.91; H, 2.00; N, 15.90. Infrared spectra of the compounds were recorded between 4000 and 300cm-’ on PerkinElmer 1330 and 621 spectrometers which were calibrated using an indene/camphor/cyclohexane standard solution. The samples were prepared as mulls (without grinding the finely powdered compounds) in nujol and hexachlorobutadiene between CsI windows (it is found that the compounds Mn-Cd-py and Mn-Hg-py are decomposed on grinding or under pressure during the preparation of the KBr discs). Raman spectra could not be obtained (by using the 488 or 515nm line) for the dark brown Mn-Cd-py and Mn-Hg-py compounds.
3. Results and discussion The IR spectra of the Mn-Cd-py and Mn-Hg-py compounds are given in Figs. la and b, respectively. Owing to the lack of structural data, the assignment was made by treating the pyridine molecule (C,,) and the Mu (Td) ions as isolated units. The wavenumbers and assignment of the observed bands in the infrared and Raman spectra of the complexes studied are given in Tables 1 and 2 for pyridine and
M(CN)4 ions, respectively, together with some pertinent spectral data for comparison. The spectral features of Mn-Cd-py, Mn-Hg-py, CdCd-py and Cd-Hg-py [l l] are found to be very similar, suggesting that they have isomorphous crystal structures. Vibrational spectra of pyridine and coordinated pyridine in metal complexes have been extensively studied by several workers. The most relevant work for our purpose is that of Akyiiz et al. [ 131. These authors presented infrared and Raman spectral data for a series of Hofmann-type pyridine complexes with the formula M(py)zNi(CN)d (M = Mn, Co, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd). They made the assignment for coordinated pyridine by making a one-to-one comparison with the assignments for liquid pyridine (Table 1). On complexing, pyridine vibrational frequencies generally increase and At modes are most strongly perturbed. The upward shifts of several fundamental frequencies of pyridine in the complexes when compared to those of the free molecule were explained mainly in terms of coupling of the internal vibrational modes of the pyridine with the M-N vibrations. Their explanation was supported for in-plane modes by a simple normal coordinate analysis [13]. A glance at Table 1 shows that each of the fundamental frequencies in the spectra of Mn(py)zNi(CN)h and Cd(py)*Ni(CN)d is faithfully reproduced with only minor shifts in the spectra of the complexes studied. The striking correspondence between these frequencies suggests that the pyridine molecules in our complex coordinate to Mn. In the T&ype clathrates and host complexes studied previously [2,4,15], the metal atom M in M(CN)4 is tetrahedrally surrounded by the carbon ends of four CN ions. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that the complexes studied here also have tetrahedral M(CN)d moeities. In assigning the bands attributable to M(CN)4 (M = Cd or Hg) ions in the spectra of our complexes, we refer to the work of Jones [16] who presented vibrational data for the salts KzCd(CN& and K2Hg(CN)4 in the solid state and assigned the infrared and Raman active fundamental vibrations of the isolated Cd(CN)4 and Hg(CN)4 ions on the basis of Td symmetry. These are given in Table 2 for com-

parison with the assignments for M(CN)4 groups in our complexes. The assigned bands of the Mn(CN)4 unit of the complexes appear to be much higher than those for isolated M(CN)4 ions (Table 2). Such upward frequency shifts have been observed for Td-type [l 1,I 71 and Hofmann-type [13] compounds, in which both ends of the CN group are coordinated, and explained as the mechanical coupling of the internal modes of M(CN&, with the metal Cd-NC vibrations. It follows that the N-ends of the M(CN), units are also bound to an Mn atom in the complexes. The preceding discussion led us to draw the conclusion that the frameworks of the complexes Mn(py)zM(CN)b (M = Cd or Hg) are similar to those found in Hofmann-~~-type clathrate compounds.
