Luminescent staircase copper(I) coordination polymer based on planar Cu3I3

Copper(l) coordination polymer [CU3I3L](n) (1) has been synthesized by the reaction of CuI and 1,4-bis((cyclohexylthio)acetyl)piperazine (L). Structural and photophysical studies of I in solid state are reported. The bonding of Cu3I3 produces staircase polymers interconnected by the sulfur atoms of L. (c) 2007 Elsevier B.V.
