Accessing water processable cyanido bridged chiral heterobimetallic Co(<scp>ii</scp>)–Fe(<scp>iii</scp>) one dimensional network

A water processable cyanido bridged extended chiral heterobimetallic Co(ii)-Fe(iii) network is assembled. The unusual water processability of the coordination polymer originates from dangling hydrophilic substituents. The present approach offers a simple route to impart solution processability to cyanido bridged molecular magnetic materials.
