Abstract
SEVERAL attempts have been made to prepare complex rhenium cyanides, but invariably these have resulted in mixed compounds. For example, in 1932 Turkiewicz1 obtained K3[ReO(CN)4OH], and later Morgan2 prepared K3[ReO(CN)4] ; Klemm and Frischmuth3 and Morgan and Davis4 described the preparation of K3[ReO2(CN)4]. A rhenium carbonyl cyanide anion [Re(CO)4(CN)2]− was reported by Hieber and Schuster5. The only evidence in the literature for the existence of a true complex rhenium cyanide comes from polarographic studies6,7.
