From discrete [Y(DMF)8][Cu4(µ3-I)2(µ-I)3I2] ion pairs to extended [Y(DMF)6(H2O)2][Cu7(µ4-I)3(µ3-I)2(µ-I)4(I)]1∞ and [Y(DMF)6(H2O)3][CuI7CuII2(µ3-I)8(µ-I)6]2∞ arrays by H-bond templating in a confined solvent-free environment†
Abstract
An ionic heterometallic species [Y(DMF)8][Cu4(µ3-I)2(µ-I)3I2]
(1) was isolated from a solution of CuI, NH4I and YI3(PriOH)4 in DMF–
