Reversible Solvent‐Exchange‐Driven Transformations in Multifunctional Coordination Polymers Based on Copper‐Containing Organosulfur Ligands

subject

description

The preparation by simple direct synthesis of a series of coordination polymers based on copper with chloride or bromide and dipyrimidinedisulfide is reported. The structural characterisations of these compounds reveal a rich structural variety as a result of the number of coordination modes available to the organosulfur ligand, in combination with the bridging capabilities of the halides. Interestingly, some of the polymers displayed fully reversible solvent exchange/removal crystal-to-crystal 2D to 0D and 2D to 2D transformations. These materials show multifunctional electronic properties. Thus, some of them are semiconductors and present weak antiferromagnetic interactions, and the CuI/CuII coordination polymers present coexistence of paramagnetism with weak red emission. These compounds present some of the lowest NIR energy luminescence in d10 transition-metal complexes.
