The crystal structure of distrontium octacyanotungstate decahydrate, Sr 2 [W(CN) 8 ] · 10H 2 O, was solved using X‐ray single crystal diffraction. The tungsten atom lies on a two fold axis. Eight cyanide anions create tetragonal antiprismatic coordination sphere of tungsten atom. The two edge‐sharing tetragonal antiprisms of [Sr(NC) 3 (OH 2 ) 5 ], create a dimer, [Sr 2 (CN) 6 (H 2 O) 6 (μ‐H 2 O) 2 ], which lies on the inversion center. One symmetry independent water molecule is located in a void of 40 Å 3 . Vibrational (FT‐IR and FT‐Raman spectroscopic) behavior of main structural units is discussed. It was spectroscopically confirmed that the geometry of [W(CN) 8 ] 4– anion is slightly distorted from that corresponding to “free” anion. The number of observed bands is significantly lower than that expected for C 2 point group.
