Two pyridinecarboxamide cobalt dicyanide building blocks and Mn(III) compounds have been employed to assemble cyanide-bridged heterometallic complexes, resulting in three trinuclear cyanide-bridged $Co^{III}-Mn^{II}$ complexes: $\{[Mn(MeOH)_4][Co(bpb)(CN)_2]_2\}{\cdot}2MeOH{\cdot}2H_2O$ (1), $\{[Mn(MeOH)_4][Co(bpmb)(CN)_2]_2\}{\cdot}2MeOH{\cdot}2H_2O$ (2) and $\{[Mn(DMF)_2(en)_2][Co(bpb)(CN)_2]_2\}{\cdot}2DMF{\cdot}H_2O$ (3) ($bpb^{2-}$ = 1,2-bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)benzenate, $bpmb^{2-}$ = 1,2-bis(pyridine-2-carboxamido)-4-methyl-benzenate, en = ethylenediamine). Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis shows their similar sandwich-like structures, in which the two cyanide-containing building blocks act as monodentate ligands through one of their two cyanide groups to coordinate the Mn(II) center. For complex 3, it was further linked into one-dimensional structure by ethylenediamine acting as bridges. Investigation of the magnetic properties of complex 3 reveals weak antiferromagnetic coupling between the neighboring Mn(II) centers through the bridging ethylenediamine molecule. A best-fit to the magnetic susceptibilities of complex 3 gave the magnetic coupling constant J = -0.073(2) $cm^{-1}$.

Dinuclear Ni(II)-thiophene halides, which contain linear bridging thienylenes, trans,trans-[$(PR_3)_2$(X)Ni-Y-Ni(X)$(PR_3)_2$] {X = Cl, Br; $H_2Y$ = 5,5'-dichloro-2,2'-bithiophene ($H_2bth$); $H_2tth$ = 5,5"-dichloro-2,2':5',2''-terthiophene ($H_2tth$)} were prepared by the oxidative addition of dihalobithiophene ($H_2bth$) or dihaloterthiophene ($H_2tth$) to [$Ni(COD)_2$] in the presence of tertiary phosphines. Subsequent reactions of $NaN_3$ with the dinuclear Ni(II)-thiophene chlorides gave the corresponding Ni(II)-azido complexes, trans,trans-[$(PR_3)_2(N_3)$Ni-Y-Ni$(N_3)(PR_3)_2$], whose reactivity toward trimethylsilyl pseudohalides such as trimethylsilyl isothiocyanates and cyanides was investigated. In addition, the reaction of trans-[$BrNi(PEt_3)_2-C_4H_2S-C_4H_2S$-CHO], a thienyl Ni(II) complex containing a terminal aldehyde group, with phosphonium ylide was examined.
