Three copper complexes constructed with sulfur-bridged bis-pyridine ligands 2,2′-dithiodipyridine (dtdp) and di-2-pyridyl sulfide (dps), [Cu 2 (dps) 2 (H 2 O) 2 (μ-SO 4 ) 2 ]·(H 2 O) 2 (1), [Cu 2 I 2 (dps) 2 ] (2), and [Cu 4 I 4 (dtdp) 2 ] (3), have been synthesized by reaction of copper(I) iodide with dtdp under solvothermal and solution-diffusion conditions, and characterized by single crystal X-ray diffraction. The dps ligands were generated via in situ cleavage of S-S and S-C(py) bonds of dtdp. Cu ions are divalent in 1, implying involvement of the starting Cu + cations in a redox process, while the Cu ions remained univalent in 2 and 3. In 1 and 2, the dps adopted N,N-chelate coordination, in contrast to the N,Schelation of the dtdp ligand in 3. Complex 1 displays a 2-D framework linked by hydrogen bonds and was further connected into a 3-D supramolecular structure by π-π stacking interactions between adjacent layers. Complexes 2 and 3 exhibited 2-D layer structures through π-π stacking interactions. The luminescent properties of 2 and 3 were also studied in the solid state at room temperature.
