a

Value A.

b

Value in degrees.

c

The tilt of Fe-CCN vector from the normal to the 24-atom mean plane.

d

Value in cm-1; KBr pellets.

e

These structures all have crystallographically required inversion symmetry.

f

Average values for the three unique [K(18-C-6)][Fe(TMP)(CN)2] entities; top line is for the simpler cyanide ligand, while the bottom line has cyanide further coordinated by [K(18-crown-6)].

g

Average value for the two cyanide groups.
