The outside cover features work from the Leznoff group. Four new [AuBr2(CN)2]−-based coordination polymers, Zn(pyz)(NCMe)2[AuBr2(CN)2]2 (1; pyz = pyrazine), Co(pyz)[AuBr2(CN)2]2·H2O (2) and [M(bipy)2(AuBr2(CN)2)][nBu4N][AuBr2(CN)2]2 (bipy = 4,4′-bipyridine), where M = Co (5) and Zn (6), were synthesized and three of them structurally characterized. 1 forms 1-D chains connected by pyz ligands while isostructural 5 and 6 form 3-D frameworks via [AuBr2(CN)2]− and bipy linkers.
