Transition Metal Complexes of Mixed Donor Acyclic Ligands bearing Heterocyclic Moieties as Terminal Groups. Part 2.¹ Synthesis, Crystal Structure and Properties of the Luminescent Copper(I) Complex [Cu₂I₂(oesq)] (oesq = 8,8′-[Oxybis(ethylenesulfanyl)]diquinoline)

Abstract

The luminescent dinuclear copper(I) complex [Cu₂I₂(oesq)] (oesq = 8,8′-[oxybis(ethylenesulfanyl)]diquinoline) was obtained from the reaction of CuI with oesq, in which the two copper(I) atoms are triply-bridged, each in a distorted tetrahedral geometry with a Cu … Cu distance of 2.550(1) Å.
