| Abstract: | A novel one-dimensional chain coordination polymer [[CuCl2]2(phen)2]∞ (1) and a three-dimensional coordination polymer [[CuCl] (phen)2](CuCl2) (2) were synthesized from simple hydrothermal reactions and the structures were characterized with elemental analysis, FT-IR spectrum and X-ray diffraction. Compound 1 crystallized in the monoclinic space group Cc with a?=?9.874(2), b?=?17.871(4), and c?=?13.440(3)?Å, α?=?90.00°, β?=?106.59(3)°, γ?=?90.00°, R 1?=?0.0463, wR 2?=?0.0819. Compound 2 crystallized in the monoclinic space group P2/c with a?=?14.4084(13), b?=?12.6280(11) and c?=?13.3560(12)?Å, α?=?90.00°, β?=?111.490(2)°, γ?=?90.00°, R 1?=?0.0771, wR 2?=?0.1439. In the packing structure, π–π stacking interactions are the most significant factors controlling the novel supramolecular sheets for the title compound. Moreover, the third-order non-linear optical property of the two compounds were also investigated and they show reverse saturable absorption and self-focusing performance. |
