Two new bimetallic cyano-bridged complexes [Ce（DMSO）4（H2O）3Fe（CN）6]·H2O 1 and [La（DMSO）4（H20）3Co（CN）6].H20 2 have been prepared by the ball milling reaction method and structurally characterized by X-ray single-crystal structure analyses. Crystallographic data for 1： C14H32CeFeN6O8S4, Mr= 736.67, monoclinic, space group P2 1/n, a = 14.952（1）, b = 13.7276（9）, c = 15.392（1） A, β= 108.288（1）°, V = 2999.6（4） A3, Z = 4, Dc= 1.631 g/cm^3, g = 2.304 mm^-1, F（000） = 1480, R = 0.0593 and wR = 0.1611; and those for 2： C14H32CoLaN6O8S4, Mr=738.54, monoclinic, space group P21/n, a = 14.945（3）, b = 13.731（3）, c = 15.300（3） A, β= 107.806（1）°, V= 2989.3（11） A^3, Z= 4, Dc = 1.641 g/cm^3, μ = 2.288 mm^-1, F（000） = 1480, R = 0.0383 and wR = 0.1132. In both complexes the lanthanide ion is eight-coordinated in a square antiprism arrangement, and the Fe（Ⅲ） or Co（Ⅲ） ion in a nearly regular octahedral environment The [LnM（CN）6（DMSO）4（H2O）3]·H2O （Ln = Ce and M = Fe for 1; Ln = La and M = Co for 2） species are held together via hydrogen bonds by coordinated water molecules, lattice water molecules and nitrogen atoms of cyanide groups to form a three-dimensional framework.
ABSTRACT A new lanthanumm-ironm complex [La（DMSO）5（H2O）]（μ-CN）2[Fe（CN）4]·H2O 1 （DMSO = dimethylsulfoxide） has been prepared by a facile approach, ball-milling method, and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to monoclinic, space group P21/n with a = 9.7125（3）, b = 21.5336（7）, c = 14.3804（5）A, β = 93.242（3）°, C16H34FeLaN60O7S5, Mr= 777.55, V = 3002.8（2）A^3, Z = 4, Dc = 1.720 g/cm^3, S = 1.053, μ（MoKα） = 2.278 mm^-1, F（000） = 1564, R = 0.0490 and ωR = 0.1270. The crystal structure analysis of 1 reveals a slightly distorted squareantiprism eighffold-coordinated La（Ⅲ） ion and a 1-D zigzag chain structure extending through the Fe-CN-La-NC-Fe linkages. The [La（DMSO）5（H2O）]（μ-CN）2[Fe（CN）4] species are held together via hydrogen bonds to form a three-dimensional framework.
The solvothermal reaction of 3-amino-1H-1,2,4-triazole （ttr） with Zn（ClO4）2·6H2O and NaCl in a 1：1：1 molar ratio gave a new complex [Zn（ttr）Cl]n with a 3-connected （4.82） 2-D structure. The layers stack in the -ABAB- way along the c axis with abundant hydrogen bonding interactions to form the crystal structure. The complex [Zn（ttr）Cl]n crystallizes in the orthorhombic space group Pbca with a = 9.369（1）, b = 10.049（1）, c = 11.905（1）A, V = 1120.9（3）A^3, Z = 8.00, C2N4H3ZnCl, Mr = 183.90, Dc = 2.180 g/cm^3,μ = 4.740 mm^-1, F（000） = 720, S = 1.059 and T = 293（2） K. The final R = 0.0662 and wR = 0.2457 for 956 observed reflections with Ⅰ〉 2σ（Ⅰ）, and R = 0.0689 and wR = 0.2504 for all data.
