Abstract

A new heterometallic Cu^I-Ni^II coordination polymer, poly[[tetra-μ₃-iodido-μ₂-iodido-bis-(μ₃-piperidine-1-di-thio-carbamato)propio-nitrilepenta-copper(I)nickel(II)] chloro-form monosolvate], {[Cu^I₅Ni^III₅(C₆H₁₀NS₂)₂(C₃H₅N)]·CHCl₃} _n , has been synthesized and structurally characterized. This coordination polymer consists of an Ni^II mononuclear unit of Ni^II(Pip-dtc)₂ (Pip-dtc^- is piperidine-1-di-thio-carbamate) and a penta-nuclear copper(I) cluster unit of Cu₅I₅(CH₃CH₂CN). The Ni^II ion, which lies on an inversion centre, is surrounded by four S atoms in a square-planar coordination geometry while all Cu^I ions have distorted tetra-hedral coordination geometries. In the penta-nuclear copper(I) cluster unit, a mirror plane passes through one Cu^I ion and three I ions. All the S atoms in Ni^II(Pip-dtc) are also coordinated by the Cu^I ions, forming an infinite zigzag chain structure along the b-axis direction. The chains are weakly connected by solvent CHCl₃ mol-ecules via Cl⋯I [3.653 (1) Å] and Cl⋯S [3.4370 (1) Å] short-contact inter-actions.

Keywords: coordination polymer; copper(I); crystal structure; dithiocarbamate; heterometal; nickel(II).
