Organometallic–Organic Hybrid Polymers Assembled from Pentaphosphaferrocene, Bipyridyl Linkers, and CuI Ions

Abstract

A multicomponent approach of the Pn ligand complex [Cp*Fe(η5-P5)] (1: Cp* = η5-C5Me5) with the ditopic organic linkers 4,4′-bipyridine (2) or trans-1,2-di(pyridine-4-yl)ethene (3) in the presence of CuI salts of the anions [BF4]– and [PF6]– or the coordinating anion Br–, leads to the formation of four novel organometallic–organic hybrid polymers: the cationic 1D polymeric compounds [Cu4{Cp*Fe(µ3,η5:1:1-P5)}2(µ,η1:1-C10H8N2)4(CH3CN)4]n[BF4]4n (4) and [Cu4{Cp*Fe(µ3,η5:1:1-P5)}2(µ,η1:1-C10H8N2)4(CH3CN)4]n[PF6]4n (5) as well as the unique neutral threefold 2D → 2D interpenetrated networks [Cu2Cl2{Cp*Fe(µ3,η5:1:1-P5)}(µ,η1:1-C12H10N2)]n (6) and [Cu2Br2{Cp*Fe(µ3,η5:1:1-P5)}(µ,η1:1-C10H8N2)]n (7).
