Abstract

The trigonal prism is rare in chemistry, and it has now been established as a new geometry for cage compounds. In the title compound, a cyanometalate cage obtained from the reaction of [Mo(CO)₃(MeCN)₃] with 1.5 equivalents of CN^- in the presence of K⁺, the formally 18-coordinate K⁺ ion lies at the center of the prism (shown schematically). Thus, classical metal-carbonyl complexes are promising precursors to cyanometalate cages.
