Synthesis of new copper(i) based linear 1-D-coordination polymers with neutral imidazolinium-dithiocarboxylate ligands†
Abstract
An imidazolinium-dithiocarboxylate betaine has been applied for the first time as a ligand in a coordination polymer with copper(I) halides. The resulting 1-D-coordination compounds show a linear double chain structure with trigonally coordinated copper(I). The potential of the material as a heterogeneous photocatalyst was explored.
