title: Cuprophilic and pi-stacking interactions in the formation of supramolecular stacks from dicoordinate organocopper complexes.
abstract: The unsupported organocopper pyridine complexes C6F5Cu(py) (2) and [C6F5Cu]2(4,4'-bipy) (3) form supramolecular structures that are unprecedented in organocopper chemistry; one-dimensional chains of copper atoms with Cu...Cu distances of 2.8924(3) angstroms in the blue-luminescent complex are likely associated with cuprophilic interactions, whereas multiple perfluoroarene-arene interactions dominate in the supramolecular assembly of 3.
