title: Poly[di-mu3-chloro-mu2-trans-1,2-di-4-pyridylethylene-dicopper(I)]: a two-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid constructed from linear CuCl clusters and bridging ligands.
abstract: The structure of the title compound, [Cu2Cl2(C12H10N2)](n), contains infinite CuCl staircase-like chains, which lie about inversion centres. The trans-1,2-di-4-pyridylethylene molecules also lie about inversion centres and connect the CuCl chains through Cu-N coordination bonds into a two-dimensional organic-inorganic hybrid network. The planar sheets are stacked along the c axis and associated through weak C-H...Cl interactions. The results show a reliable structural motif with controllable separation of the CuCl chains by variation of the length of the ligand.
