The adjacent chains are further assembled together by two kinds of π-π interactions between the Py rings,resulting in the finial double layered supramolecular structure. In addition,complex 1 is found to show photoluminescence in the solid state at room temperature,which can be ascribed to the intraligand π→π* transitions.     

Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a Novel Bis(chlorido)-bridged One-dimensional Chain-like Copper(Ⅱ) Polymer

A copper(Ⅱ) complex [LCu_2Cl_4]n was synthesized by a new bis-Schiff base ligand containing quinoline unit, 1,4-bis[2-(4-fluorophenyl)iminomethyl-8-quinolinoxy]butane(L). X-ray crystal structure shows that it is a binuclear complex, and the crystal belongs to the triclinic system, space group P1, with a = 9.387(2), b = 9.968(2), c = 10.291(2) ?, α = 87.532(3), β = 63.762(2), γ = 86.628(3)o, V = 862.1(3) ?~3, Z = 1, Dc = 1.640 Mg/m~3, F(000) = 428, R = 0.0416 and wR = 0.1141. Each Cu(Ⅱ) metal ion coordinates with a quinoline N atom, an imine N atom, an ether oxygen atom and three chlorides, forming a distorted six-coordinated octahedronal structure. Each copper(Ⅱ) complexation unit links with one of the adjacent ligand copper complexation units through the chlorido bridging groups, thus generating an infinite one-dimensional chain structure. Such 1D chains further construct a 2D network structure by π-π stacking interactions.
