When solid Cu(CN)2 was ablated with 1064 nm laser pulses, various ions containing 2-coordinate Cu2 bridged by cyanide ions were formed. These ions collectively have been dubbed a metal cyanide “abacus.” What are the likely structures of such ions, including the most likely geometry around the copper ion? (See I. G. Dance, P. A. W. Dean, K. J. Fisher, Inorg. Chem., 1994, 33, 6261.)
The frequency of the symmetrical M-O stretching vibration of the octahedral aqua ions [M(OH2)6]2+ increases along the series Ca2+<Mn2+<Ni2+. How does this trend relate to acidity?
