Synthesis, structure and fluorescence properties of a coordination polymer [Cu2(SCN)4(BPX)]n with 1D ladder-shaped structure
A coordination polymer, [Cu2(SCN)4(BPX)]n (BPX = 1,4-bis(pyridinium) xylol) was synthesized and characterized by IR spectrum, fluorescence spectrum and single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal structure revealed that the title compound crystallized in monoclinic system with space group P2(1)/c, a = 5.7540(7)A, b = 12.7203(15)A, c = 17.598(2)A, = 94.9940(10). Two SCN-ions served as bridging ligands to link two Cu(I) ions, giving rise to an eight-member ring. Furthermore, copper atom and sulfur atom of the eight-member ring bonded sulfur atom and copper atom of adjacent eight-member ring through the formation of Cu-S to form a small four-member ring. Thus, innumerable eight-member rings alternately linked four-member rings each other to form an infinite one-dimensional ladder-shaped structure.
