Interwoven two- and three-dimensional coordination polymers through self-assembly of CuI cations with linear bidentate ligands
Abstract
The synthesis and single crystal X-ray structures are reported of two interwoven cationic frameworks that are based upon tetrahedral and trigonal CuI ions; the resulting architectures are diamondoid, [CuI(bipy)2(PF6)]∞(bipy = 4,4′-bipyridyl)1, and honeycomb, [CuI)2(pz)3(SiF6)]∞(pz = pyrazine)2, respectively.
