Condensation of [Cp*Rh(CH3NO2) n]2+ and the tricyanoborate [PhB(CN)3] - affords the hexagonal bipyramidal cage {[PhB(CN)3] 6[Cp*Rh]6}6+, demonstrating that tetrahedral tricyanide building blocks can lead to novel cage structures.

The first systematic study on the use of tricyanoborates as ligands is presented. The tricyanoborates [RB(CN)3]- (R = oct and Ph) can be prepared by direct cyanation of RBCl2 precursors as well as by thermolysis of the corresponding isocyanides [RB(NC)3] -. The first organo-cyanogallates [RGa(CN)3]- (R = Bu, C6H2-2,4,6-Me3) were prepared from the corresponding dichloride, the structure of Et4N[mesGa(CN) 3] being confirmed crystallographically. The reaction of equimolar [RB(CN)3]- (R = oct, Ph) and [Cu(MeCN)4] + afforded two-dimensional polymers [RB-(CN)3Cu(NCMe)]. The sheets arise via conjoined hexagonal B3Cu3(CN) 6 rings with chair conformations. The reaction of excess [PhB(CN)3]- and [Cu(MeCN)4]+ gives the polymer [K(18-crown-6)]{Cu[PhB(CN)3]2}. Treatment of [PhB(CN)3]- with [Cu(PCy3)2(NCMe) x]PF6 gave the one-dimensional polymer [PhB(CN) 3Cu(PCy3)2], wherein two of the three BCN substituents are coordinated.
