A novel maze-type network assembled by copper(II) and 2,2'-dicarboxydiphenylthioether: [(Cu_4(C_5H_5N)_8{S(C_6H_4CO_2)_2}_4(H_2O)_2] centre dot 2H_2O)_n

摘要

A novel polymeric copper(II) complex [(Cu_4(C_5H_5N)_8{S(C_6H_4CO_2)_2}_4(H_2O)_2] centre dot 2H_2O)_n assembled by 2,2'-dicarboxydiphenylthioether and pyridine and bridged by carboxylato groups has been synthesised and structurally characterised by single crystal X-ray structural studies.The maze-type structure contains one tetranuclear 40- and one dinuclear 8-membered metallocycles,both of which are centrosymmetric and from the repeat unit in the polymer chain.
