Abstract

The ready formation of a range of transition metal complexes of the pentacyanocyclopentadienide anion via ligand transfer reactions employing Na[C5(CN)5] indicates that the [C5(CN)5]− anion has an extensive transition metal coordination chemistry and is not such a weakly coordinating anion.
