Abstract The arsenic(III) and antimony(III) cyanides M(CN) 3 (M=As, Sb) have been prepared in quantitative yields from the corresponding trifluorides through fluoride–cyanide exchange with Me 3 SiCN in acetonitrile. When the reaction was carried out in the presence of one equivalent of 2,2′‐bipyridine, the adducts [M(CN) 3 ⋅ (2,2′‐bipy)] were obtained. The crystal structures of As(CN) 3 , [As(CN) 3 ⋅ (2,2′‐bipy)] and [Sb(CN) 3 ⋅ (2,2′‐bipy)] were determined and are surprisingly different. As(CN) 3 possesses a polymeric three‐dimensional structure, [As(CN) 3 ⋅ (2,2′‐bipy)] exhibits a two‐dimensional sheet structure, and [Sb(CN) 3 ⋅ (2,2′‐bipy)] has a chain structure, and none of the structures resembles those found for the corresponding arsenic and antimony triazides.
