Negative thermal expansion (NTE) behavior is an interesting physical phenomenon, but the number of NTE materials is limited. In this study, a new NTE compound has been found, FeFe(CN)6 Prussian blue analogue, where the average linear coefficient of thermal expansion (αl) is –4.260 × 10–6 K–1 between 100 and 450 K. The NTE properties and local vibration dynamics have been investigated by joint experiments of synchrotron X-ray diffraction, X-ray pair distribution function, and extended X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy. It has been observed that the Fe–C/Fe–N bonds expand with increasing temperature, while the unit cell shrinks in FeFe(CN)6. The vibration directions of both Fe–C and Fe–N prefer to be perpendicular to the linkage of Fe–C[≡]N–Fe rather than being parallel. More pieces of evidence indicate that the transverse vibrations of N atoms dominate the NTE behavior of FeFe(CN)6. In conclusion, the present results prove directly that the transverse thermal vibrations of C and N atoms are crucial for the occurrence of the NTE of Prussian blue analogues.
