The title complex, [Cu(C12H8N2)2]I, (I), has been crystallized in two polymorphic forms, both containing four‐coordinate copper. Both forms are orthorhombic, with form (Ia) crystallizing in the primitive space group Pban and form (Ib) in the c‐centred space group Ccca. In (Ia), the complex cation and the I− anion both have 222 crystallographic symmetry, and in (Ib), the complex cation has approximate 222 symmetry, with the I− counter‐ion distributed over three special positions.
A series of novel zinc(II) organophosphonates with coordinated 2,2′-bipyridyl (2,2′-bipy, C 10 H 8 N 2 ) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen, C 12 H 8 N 2 ) ligands (with the proposed formulations:
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
