Crystal structure ofcatena-poly[[bis(N-acethylthiomorpholine-κS)copper(I)]-μ-iodido]

Abstract

The reaction of copper(I) iodide withN-acetylthiomorpholine (L, C6H11NOS) in acetonitrile results in a coordination polymer with composition [CuI(L)2]n. The CuIatom is coordinated by two S atoms and two I atoms, adopting a distorted tetrahedral environment. The μ2-bridging mode of the I atoms gives rise to chains extending parallel to [010]. C—H...O hydrogen-bonding interactions between the chains lead to a three-dimensional network.
