Poly[tetraphenylphosphonium copper(I)-di-μ₂-dicyanamido]

Abstract

In the title compound, [(C(24)H(20)P)[Cu(C(2)N(3))(2)]](n), the copper(I) dicyanamide anion forms a distorted three-dimensional single diamondoid network. Templating tetraphenylphosphonium cations reside within the cavities of the polymeric anion.

P-Ligands are important structural motifs in organic syntheses, coordination chemistry and also in various catalytically active compounds, the tetraphenylphosphonium ion have been widely used in supramolecular chemistry and numerous coordination polymers with versatile structures and potential properties have been reported (Zacharie et al, 1985;Schlueter & Geiser, 2007). Thus, we report here the synthesis of title compound [L 2 .CoCl 4 ], were L is tetraphenylphosphonium and its crystal structure.…”
