Poly[pentakis(μ-cyanido-κ²N:C)tris(5-phenyl-2,2′-bipyridine-κ²N,N′)pentacopper(I)]

Abstract

The hydro­thermal reaction of Cu(acetate)2 and K3[Fe(CN)6] with 5-phenyl-2,2′-bipyridine (5-ph-2,2′-bpy) in water yields the polymeric title complex, [Cu5(CN)5(C16H12N2)3]n, which consists of ribbons along the a axis, constructed from 26-membered {Cu10(CN)8} rings. In these rings, the metal atoms are bridged by cyanide groups, except for one close Cu⋯Cu contact [2.7535 (12) Å], which can be considered as ligand-unsupported. Within the rings, one Cu atom has a distorted tetra­hedral geometry through the coordination to two N atoms from 5-ph-2,2′-bpy and two N/C atoms from two cyanide groups. Two Cu atoms have a trigonal planar environment being coordinated by three cyanide groups and two other Cu atoms have a distorted square planar geometry through coordination to two N atoms from 5-ph-2,2′-bpy and two N/C atoms from two cyanide groups.

A Platinum(II) Organometallic Building Block for the Design of Emissive Copper(I) and Silver(I) Coordination Polymers

“…The X-ray structure of CP2 consists of a central zigzag chain of (CuCN) n anchoring parallel dangling L1 groups via Pt–CN–Cu bondings; thus, the Cu atoms are tricoordinated and the CuN 2 C center planar (Figure ). The formation of a (CuCN) n zigzag chain with side ligands is common. − The NCuN (101.0°) and NCuC (129.68°) bond angles deviate sensitively from the ideal angle for the sp 2 hybridization. Indeed, the CN–Cu bond angle is not linear (163.00(6)°).…”

Ligand-Driven Anion−π Interaction-Induced Silver(I) Coordination Chemistry

“…This ligand is efficiently synthesized from its precursor, namely, 6-phenyl-3-(pyridin-2-yl)-1,2,4-triazine ( L II ), , which, in turn, is also a very attractive ligand for coordination chemistry. Before our investigations of L I , only four crystal structures of its metal complexes have been known. ,− Even more telling is that nothing was reported about the complexation properties of L II so far. This is surprising since the presence of the central 1,2,4-triazine ring in its structure can lead, in our opinion, to a rich variety of complexes with interesting properties as well as an efficient π-electron-deficient receptor for anions …”
