Lr. Hanton et al., Thiophene S-binding of a conformationally constrained thiophenophane leading to the formation of a copper(i) coordination polymer, CHEM COMMUN, (24), 2000, pp. 2465-2466
The potentially tetradentate NS3 thiophenophane binds strongly to Cu(i) thr
ough a thiophene S, pyridine N and one thioether S, leaving the remaining t
hioether S donor in an exodentate arrangement forming an infinite polymeric
link between Cu(i) atoms.
