Abstract
Two equivalents of CuI react with p-MeC6H4SCH2C≡CCH2SC6H4-p-Me (L2) to form the 2D network [(Cu4I4)(p-MeC6H4SCH2C≡CCH2SC6H4-p-Me)2] n (polymer 2) contrasting with the previously reported reaction with C6H5SCH2C≡CCH2SC6H5 (L1) which makes a 3D network [(Cu6I6)(C6H5SCH2C≡CCH2SC6H5)3] n (polymer 1) (2009, Dalton Trans. 948). The crystal structure of the latter polymer has been re-determined at 115, 155, 195, 235 and 275 K to study the impact of the recording temperature on the metric parameters, notably the Cu···Cu distances within the hexagonal prism Cu6I6 cluster. Steric hindrance between a 2D/(Cu4I4) versus 3D/(Cu6I6) appears to drive the selectivity. Upon using the ligand o-MeC6H4SCH2C≡CCH2SC6H4-o-Me (L3) with CuI, a new material (polymer 3) is formed but no X-ray structure determination was possible. From obvious steric considerations and the presence of a high energy emission characteristic of the well-known Cu4I4 cluster (absent in the Cu6I6 one), and the similarity in emission lifetime for both high and low energy emission of polymers 2 and 3, the nature of this polymer was proposed to be [(Cu4I4)(o-MeC6H4SCH2C≡CCH2SC6H4-o-Me)2] n .
