The methods of neutron diffraction, which permit a distinction to be made between carbon and nitrogen atoms, were used to extend x-ray studies of K/ sub 3/Co(CN)/sub 6/. It appears that the carbon atoms are in positions adjacent to the cobalt ions. The methods of Fourier synthesis and least squares were used to obtain improved atomic co-ordinates and values for the Debye-Waller temperature factors. The length of the C-N bonds is reported to be 1.15 A. (auth)
