Cu-X-bpy (X = Cl, Br; bpy=4,4 '-bipyridine) coordination polymers: The stoichiometric control and structural relations of (2)(infinity)[Cu2X2(bpy)] and (3)(infinity)[CuBr(bpy)]
Jy. Lu et al., Cu-X-bpy (X = Cl, Br; bpy=4,4 '-bipyridine) coordination polymers: The stoichiometric control and structural relations of (2)(infinity)[Cu2X2(bpy)] and (3)(infinity)[CuBr(bpy)], INORG CHEM, 38(20), 1999, pp. 4608
By controlling stoichiometry, three Copper(I) containing coordination polym
ers (2)(infinity)[Cu2Cl2(bpy)] (I), (2)(infinity)[Cu2Br2(bpy)] (II), and (3
)(infinity)[CuBr(bpy)] (III) (bpy = 4.4'-bipyridine) have been synthesized
in superheated water at 170 degrees C. The crystal structures of I and II a
re two-dimensional networks composed of Cu2X2 double chains bridged by 4.4'
-bpy molecules through the nitrogen sites. The structure of III is a three-
dimensional interpenetrating network constructed by concatenated 2D sheets.
TGA studies indicate that these compounds are thermally stable up to 220 d
egrees C.
