Metallic or ferromagnetic properties are displayed by Cu complexes with the dicyanoquinodiimine (DCNQI) anion and a V complex with the tetracyanoethyletylenc (TCNE) anion. These exceptional properties arise from pπ–dπ ligand–metal interactions. An entire field based on the coordination chemistry of organocyanides is emerging, aided by the discoveries of unusual molecules such as 1 (M = Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn) that involve coupling of two TCNE ligands on a metal center.
