The first structurally characterized 3,4′-bipyridine copper(I) coordination polymer with an approximately rectangular molecular box

Abstract

The first metal coordination polymer containing3,4′-bipyridine (3,4′-bpy) was prepared by the hydrothermal treatment of Cu(NO₃)₂·2.5H₂O, Me₃SnBr and3,4′-bpy and its crystal structure shows a infinite double chain composed of two 3,4′-bpy and Br as well as copper(I) ions with an approximately rectangular molecular box of 4.0 × 10.68 Å.
