Aj. Blake et al., POLYCATENATED COPPER(I) MOLECULAR LADDERS - A NEW STRUCTURAL MOTIF ININORGANIC COORDINATION POLYMERS, Chemical communications, (21), 1997, pp. 2027-2028
The complex {[Cu-2(MeCN)(2)L-3](PF6)(2)}(infinity) [L = 1,4-bis(4-pyri
dyl)butadiyne] is prepared and characterised by X-ray diffraction stud
ies which show an undulating polycatenated molecular ladder structure
involving fully interwoven two-dimensional sheets.
