¹⁶¹Dy Mössbauer spectra for cyano coordination polymer compounds

Four kinds of Dy(III) hexacyanometalates (II or III), DyFe(CN)6·4H2O (1), KDyFe(CN)6·4H2O (2), DyCo(CN)6·4H2O (3), and KDyRu(CN)6·4H2O (4) have been investigated by 161Dy Mössbauer spectroscopy. 161Dy isomer shifts of four compounds fall in the range of +3 ionic compounds. Although all spectra 1-4 show an almost symmetric line, the broadening of the line-width is observed on lowering the temperature due to the paramagnetic relaxation. As a parameter of intermolecular force constant, the MΘ2 value obtained for 161Dy of 1 is slightly larger than that of 2.
