Catena-Poly[[di - Bromido-dicopper(I)]bis-[-2, 1-4-(2-allyl-2H-tetra-zol-5-yl)pyridine]]

Abstract

The title compound, [CuBr(C9H9N5)] n , prepared by the solvothermal treatment of CuBr with 4-(2-allyl-2H-tetra-zol-5-yl)pyridine, is a new homometallic CuI-olefin coordination polymer in which dinuclear Cu2Br2 units are linked by the organic olefin ligand 4-(2-allyl-2H-tetra-zol-5- yl)pyridine, which acts as a bidentate ligand connecting two neighbouring Cu2Br2 units through the pyridine N atom and the double bond of the allyl group. The coordination of Cu(I) is slightly distorted tetrahedral. © 2008.
