Abstract Reaction of either K3[Fe(CN)6] or K4[Fe(CN)6] with a macrocyclic CuII complex, [Cu(teta)](ClO4)2 (teta = 5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacylotetradecane), in aqueous solution gave the same product as shown by spectroscopic and physicochemical characterisation. The crystal structure of the complex shows that it is a one-dimensional linear chain type heterobinuclear FeIII–CuII polymer. The unit is composed of a [Cu(teta)(H2O)2]2+ cationic complex, a FeIII–CuII alternate linear chain unit, a ClO 4 − ion and four water molecules. The Cu atom is coordinated in a distorted octahedral arrangement by four nitrogen atoms from one teta ligand and two nitrogen atoms of the bridging cyanide groups. The Cu—N bond distances involving the cyanide bridges, 2.522(7) and 2.608(7)Å, respectively, indicate weak antiferromagnetic interactions between the FeIII and CuII atoms.
