A Fused Poly(truncated rhombic dodecahedron)-Containing 3D Coordination Polymer: A Multifunctional Material with Exceptional Properties
The design of new and inexpensive metal-containing functional materials is of great interest. Herein is reported a unique thermochromic near-IR emitting coordination polymer, 3D-[Cu8I8(L1)2]n, CP2, which is formed when ArS(CH2)4SAr (L1, Ar = 4-C6H4OMe) reacts with 2 equiv of CuI in EtCN. In MeCN, ...
Unusual Triplet-Triplet Annihilation in a 3D Copper Chloride Coordination Polymer
A new coordination polymer (CP) defined as [Cu2Cl2(EtS(CH2)4SEt)4]n (CP2) was prepared by reacting EtS(CH2)4SEt with CuCl in acetonitrile in a 1 : 2 stoichiometric ratio. The X-ray structure reveals formation of non-porous 3D material composed of parallel 2D-[Cu2Cl2S2]n layers of Cl-bridged ...
