Abstract

Hydrothermal reaction of CuBr2 and 1,2-di(1H-benzoimidazol-2-yl)ethane-1,2-diol leads to the formation of a new mixed-valence copper(I,II) complex [(C7H5N2)(CuICuIIBr2)], which exhibits a two-dimensional layer structure, containing the first example of a rhombic dodecahedral CuBr [4,3] polyhedral column. The synthesis, crystal structure, electronic property, thermal stability and electrochemical characterization of this complex are investigated.
