catena-Poly[[[mu-1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene-kappa2N3:N3']bis[dichlorocopper(II)]]-bis[mu-1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene]-1:1'kappa2N3:N3';2:2'kappa2N3:N3'].
The title compound, [Cu2Cl4(bix)3]n [bix is 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-ylmethyl)benzene, C14H14N4], has been synthesized by the hydrothermal method. The copper(II) center has a five-coordinate trigonal-bipyramidal geometry. Each bix ligand binds with two CuII ions, forming ladder-like structures which are connected by pi-pi stacking interactions to form a two-dimensional network.
