We present a comprehensive study of the structural properties and the thermal expansion behavior of 17 different Prussian Blue Analogs (PBAs) with compositions MII3[(M')III(CN)6]2.nH2O and MII2[FeII(CN)6].nH2O, where MII = Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu and Zn, (M')III = Co, Fe and n is the number of water molecules, which range from 5 to 18 for these compounds. The PBAs were synthesized via standard chemical precipitation methods, and temperature-dependent X-ray diffraction studies were performed in the temperature range between -150oC (123 K) and room-temperature. The vast majority of the studied PBAs were found to crystallize in cubic structures of space groups, and . The temperature dependence of the lattice parameters was taken to compute an average coefficient of linear thermal expansion in the studied temperature range. Of the 17 compounds, 9 display negative values for the average coefficient of linear thermal expansion, which can be as large as 39.7 x 10-6 K-1 for Co3[Co(CN)6]2.12H2O. All of the MII3[CoIII(CN)6]2.nH2O compounds show negative thermal expansion behavior, which correlates with the Irving-Williams series for metal complex stability. The thermal expansion behavior for the PBAs of the MII3[FeIII(CN)6]2.nH2O family are found to switch between positive (for M = Mn, Co, Ni) and negative (M = Cu, Zn) behavior, depending on the choice of the metal cation (M). On the other hand, all of the MII2[FeII(CN)6].nH2O compounds show positive thermal expansion behavior.
