Introduction been studied structurally and magnetically [11–16]. These complexes exhibit fascinating structures ranging In recent years, an enormous amount of research work from discrete entities to 3D extended networks, and has been devoted to the study of cyano-bridged coor- interesting magnetic properties, such as magnetic order- dination polymers due to their potential use as func- ing and high spin ground states. For example, the tional solid materials, such as catalysts, optical devices reaction between [M¢(BS)]+ (M¢ ¼ Mn, Fe; BS ¼ Schiff 3) as well as molecular-based magnets [1–5]. It is known base ligand) and [M(CN)6] (M ¼ Fe, Cr) has already that the cyano-bridged 3D bimetallic assemblies of the led to a variety of lattice structures depending on the Prussian Blue type, derived from hexacyanometalate nature of the Schiff base, the metal ion and the n) ions [M(CN)6] and simple transition metal ions, countercation etc., e.g., the discrete heptanuclear exhibit spontaneous magnetization at TC as high as complex [Cr{(CN)Mn(salen Æ H2O)}6][Cr(CN)6] Æ 6H2O 376 K, and interesting optoelectronic and magnetoop- [salen ¼ N,N¢-ethylenebis(salicylideneiminato)dianion] tical properties [6–10].
