Crystal structure of catena-poly[[bis(N-acethylthiomorpholine-κS)copper(I)]-μ-iodido]

Abstract

The reaction of copper(I) iodide with N-acetylthiomorpholine (L, C6H11NOS) in acetonitrile results in a coordination polymer with composition [CuI(L)2] n. The CuI atom is coordinated by two S atoms and two I atoms, adopting a distorted tetrahedral environment. The μ2-bridging mode of the I atoms gives rise to chains extending parallel to [010]. C - H⋯O hydrogen-bonding interactions between the chains lead to a three-dimensional network.
