Dear Reader,
I have explained how cyanide can bind to metals such as iron to form complexes, these complexes have lone pairs poking out which can bind to other metals. Here is a picture of a unit cell of prussian blue.
A unit cell of a cesium nickel iron cyanide
The carbons are black, the nitrogens are blue, the irons are purple, the nickels are gold coloured and the green atoms are the cesium.
