An Unusual Organic–Inorganic Chain-like Hybrid Complex [(CuCl)2(o-phen)]∞ (o-phen=o-phenanthroline)

Ionothermal synthesis and crystal structure of a new organic–inorganic hybrid compound:catena-poly[bis(1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium) [hepta-μ-bromido-pentacuprate(I)]]

“…Among hybrid compounds reported so far, copper(I) halides with different organic templates have been widely investigated due to their rich photoluminescent properties and intriguing topologies (Graham et al, 2000;Wang et al, 2002;Peng et al, 2010;Xin et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2014). Copper(I) tends to form a variety of coordination compounds with halides, ranging from zero-dimensional complexes to three-dimensional frameworks (Subramanian & Hoffmann, 1992;Peng et al, 2010;Gao et al, 2010;Liu et al, 2014).…”

The first polypseudo-rotaxane structure based on the Wells–Dawson polyoxometalate

“…The diffraction peaks of both simulated and experimental patterns match well, indicating the phase purity of the compound. The XPS spectrum gives the peaks of Cu2p 1/2 and Cu2p 3/2 at 951.1 and 931.4 eV, which could be ascribed to Cu I ( Figure S6) [53,54]. From the curve it can be seen that compound 1 is very stable below 350°C.…”

[Cu2Br2(BPP)]n (BPP=1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane): A luminescent 2-D inorganic–organic hybrid coordination network with 1-D copper (I) chains bridged by trans-Br atoms

“…They are: (a) square (rhomboid) dimer; (b) cubane tetramer; (c) diamondoid tetramer; (d) zigzag chain; (e) double-stranded ladder and (f) hexagonal grid chain, respectively. Besides their intriguing topology [1][2][3][4][5], copper (I) halide complexes have attracted wide interest for their rich photophysical properties [7][8][9][10]. The presence of direct CuÁ Á ÁCu interactions has been proved to be one of the crucial causes to the luminescent properties in such species [7].…”

“…Several of them in various dimensionality including 1-D chain-like, 2-D layered and 3-D extended structures have been synthesized and characterized [1][2][3][4][5][6]. As a summary of the reported structures, the basic structural skeletons of copper (I) halides (CuX) are listed in Scheme 1.…”
