The new crystalline compounds Tl2Ni(CN)4 and Tl2Pd(CN)4 were synthesized by several procedures. The structuresof the compounds were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The compounds are isostructural with thepreviously reported platinum analogue, Tl2Pt(CN)4. A new synthetic route to the latter compound is also suggested.In contrast to the usual infinite columnar stacking of [M(CN)4]2- ions with short intrachain M-M separations,characteristic of salts of tetracyanometalates of NiII, PdII, and PtII, the structure of the thallium compounds isnoncolumnar with the two TlI ions occupying axial vertices of a distorted pseudo-octahedron of the transition metal,[MTl2C4]. The Tl-M distances in the compounds are 3.0560(6), 3.1733(7), and 3.140(1) Å for NiII, PdII, and PtII,respectively. The short Tl-Ni distance in Tl2Ni(CN)4 is the first example of metal-metal bonding between these twometals. The strength of the metal-metal bonds in this series of compounds was assessed by means of vibrationalspectroscopy. Rigorous calculations, performed on the molecules in D4h point group symmetry, provide force constantsfor the Tl-M stretching vibration constants of 146.2, 139.6, and 156.2 N/m for the NiII, PdII, and PtII compounds,respectively, showing the strongest metal-metal bonding in the case of the Tl-Pt compound. Amsterdam density-functional calculations for isolated Tl2M(CN)4 molecules give Tl-M geometry-optimized distances of 2.67, 2.80, and2.84 Å for M = NiII, PdII, and PtII, respectively. These distances are all substantially shorter than the experimentalvalues, most likely because of intermolecular Tl-N interactions in the solid compounds. Time-dependent density-functional theory calculations reveal a low-energy, allowed transition in all three compounds that involves excitationfrom an a1g orbital of mixed Tl 6pz-M ndz2 character to an a2u orbital of dominant Tl 6pz character.
