Catena-Poly[[chloridocopper(I)] - 2,1-3-(2-allyl-2H- tetra-zol-5-yl)pyridine]

Abstract

The title compound, [CuCl(C9H9N5)] n , prepared by solvo-thermal synthesis, is a new homometallic CuI-olefin coordination polymer in which the CuI atoms are linked by the 3-(2-allyl-2H-tetra-zol-5-yl)pyridine ligands and are each bonded to one terminal Cl atom. The organic ligand acts as a bidentate ligand bridging two neighboring Cu centers through the bonds to the N atom of the pyridine ring and the double bond of the allyl group. Weak Cu⋯Cl [3.136 (8) Å), C - H⋯Cl and C - H⋯N inter-actions connect the coordination polymers into a three-dimensional structure. © 2008.
