A Polymeric Structure Containing Cu₂Cl₂ Units Bridged by 4,4‘-Bipyridine:  (PPh₃)₂Cu₂(μ-Cl)₂(μ-4,4‘-bipyridine)

Abstract

(4,4‘-Bipyridine)(triphenylphosphine)copper(I) chloride crystallizes in the triclinic space group P1̄ with a = 9.080(2) Å, b = 9.295(2) Å, c = 13.086(2) Å, α = 105.64(1)°, β = 105.30(1)°, and γ = 94.91(2)°. The structure is build up by dimeric Cu2Cl2 units with bridging Cl anions, which are connected by a 4,4‘-bipyridine to form a chain structure. The triphenylphosphine ligand completes the coordination sphere around the copper atoms.

Self‐Assembly of 1,4‐Bis(1‐benzimidazolylmethyl)benzene with Cd(II) and Zn(II) Cations: Synthesis and Crystal Structures of a 2‐D Coordination Polymer and a 3‐D Supramolecular Complex

“…The role of coordination bond and hydrogen bond in crystal engineering is currently of great interest due to their use in constructing two-and three-dimensional coordination polymers with special properties such as electrical conductivity, magnetism, host-guest chemistry and catalysis (Lu et al, 1997).…”

“…The mean CuClCu bond angle (77.48°) is slightly larger than the CuICu angle (73.41°), while the mean ClCuCl angle (102.58°) is slightly smaller than the ICuI angle (106.6°) [3]. In addition, the previously reported (PPh3)2Cu2(m-Cl)2(m-4,4-bipyridine) [6] has an analogous Cu2Cl2 plane. In the plane, the d(Cu···Cu) of 2.997(1) Å and average distances d(CuCl) of 2.416 Å are slightly smaller than the corresponding values of the title structure.…”
