Abstract

Reaction of achiral [Cu2(H3CCN)2(mu-pydz)3][PF6]2 (1) (pydz = pyridazine) with bidendate 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)propane (2) in acetonitrile at room temperature in a 1:1 ratio yielded the mononuclear copper(I) complex [Cu[CH2(CH2PPh2)2]2][PF6] (3) together with new one-dimensional coordination polymer 1 to infinity[[Cu(mu-pydz)2][PF6]] (4). Air-sensitive single crystals of 4, suitable for X-ray structure determination, were grown from a mixture of dichloromethane/ hexane [crystal system: monoclinic; space group: C2/c: a = 21.910(3), b = 12.130(2), c = 25.704(3) A,beta = 110.08(10) degrees, V = 6416.65(16) A3]. The one-dimensional coordination polymer 1 to infinity[[Cu(mu-pydz)2][PF6]] (4) exhibits as outstanding feature the rare structure of a meso-helix.
