2D Coordination Polymer with a 1D Carboxylate‐Copper Chain Based on Rare Icosanuclear and Tetranuclear Clusters

Abstract

The 2D coordination polymer {[Cu 32 (pa) 24 (μ 2 -OH) 8 (μ 3 -OH) 8 (bibp) 8 ]·(CH 3 OH) 3 (H 2 O) 5 } ϱ was prepared by the solvothermal reaction of Cu(NO 3 ) 2 ·3H 2 O with phthalic acid (H 2 pa) and 4,4Ј-bis-(imidazol-1-yl)biphenyl (bibp). The Cu II ions show five different kinds of coordination environments, which are all connected by the pa 2ion into an interesting 1D carboxylate-copper chain with rare
