TL;DR: In this paper, the design and preparation of stable cyanide-bearing six-coordinate complexes of formula [MIII(L)(CN)x](x+l−−m)− (M = trivalent transition metal ion and L = polydentate blocking ligand) are summarized and the appropriate choice of the end-cap ligand L whose denticity determines the number of coordinated cyanide groups in the mononuclear precursors.

TL;DR: DFT-type calculations and QMC methodology provided a good understanding of the magnetic properties of 3-5, which are ferro- and ferrimagnetic chains respectively, with metamagnetic-like behavior.

TL;DR: Reaction of Fe(III)(bipy)(CN)4]- with fully solvated M(II) cations produces the isostructural bis double zigzag chains which exhibits intrachain ferromagnetic and interchain antiferromagnetic couplings, slow magnetic relaxation and hysteresis effects.

TL;DR: The novel mononuclear complex PPh(4)-mer, a low-spin iron(III) compound with three cyanide ligands in mer arrangement and a tridentate N-donor ligand building a distorted octahedral environment around the iron atom, has been prepared and characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis.

TL;DR: The analysis of the exchange pathways in 2-4 through DFT type calculations together with the magnetic bevaviour simulation using the quantum Monte Carlo methodology provided a good understanding of their magnetic properties.
