Synthesis and crystal structure of the 2-D polymer {Cu(bipy)Pt(CN)(4)}(infinity) and its relationship to the tetranuclear compound [{Cu(bipy)(H2O)Pt(CN)(4)}(2)]center dot 2H(2)O
Lr. Falvello et al., Synthesis and crystal structure of the 2-D polymer {Cu(bipy)Pt(CN)(4)}(infinity) and its relationship to the tetranuclear compound [{Cu(bipy)(H2O)Pt(CN)(4)}(2)]center dot 2H(2)O, J CLUST SCI, 11(1), 2000, pp. 125-133
The reaction of (NBu4)(2)[Pt(CN)(4)] with Cu(NO3)(2). 2.5H(2)O and bipy in
stoichiometric ratio in methanol solution yields the 2-D polymer {Cu(bipp)P
t(CN)(4)}(infinity). The influence of water molecules and hydrogen bonding
on the formation of a 2-D polymeric structure versus a tetranuclear cluster
from "Cu(bipy)Pt(CN)(4)" units is discussed.
