Two-dimensional square-grid versus one-dimensional double-stranded networks: Counterion regulation of the formation of macrocycle-based copper(I) coordination frameworks

摘要

A two-dimensional square-grid-shaped coordination polymer incorporating the dithiaoxa macrocycle (1), [Cu(1)CN](n) (2), has been prepared by a self-assembly process involving the interaction of 1 with CuCN; the parallel reaction of 1 with CuI afforded the one-dimensional double-stranded coordination polymer [Cu(1)I](n) (3).
