Octacyanidometallates have been proven to be very useful molecular building blocks for the construction of various molecular materials with a strong emphasis on magnetic properties. However, their availability is still limited due to the preparation difficulties. Existing methods for their preparation consume large amounts of cyanide and require prolonged time for the synthesis. In this contribution novel synthetic routes for octacyanidoniobate(IV) and octacyanidomolybdate(IV) using NbCl 4 (THF) 2 and MoCl 5 , respectively, as starting materials are reported. The synthesis of both complexes are significantly improved in terms of simplicity, preparation time, yield and purity.
