title: From discrete [Y(DMF)8][Cu4(mu3-I)2(mu-I)3I2] ion pairs to extended [Y(DMF)6(H2O)2][Cu7(mu4-I)3(mu3-I)2(mu-I)4(I)]1infinity and [Y(DMF)6(H2O)3][Cu(I)7Cu(II)2(mu3-I)8(mu-I)6]2infinity arrays by H-bond templating in a confined solvent-free environment.
abstract: An ionic heterometallic species [Y(DMF)(8)][Cu(4)(micro(3)-I)(2)(micro-I)(3)I(2)](1) was isolated from a solution of CuI, NH(4)I and YI(3)(Pr(i)OH)(4) in DMF-isopropoxyethanol, and was converted in a confined environment by progressive substitution of the DMF ligands with water molecules first into a 1D zig-zag structure [Y(DMF)(6)(H(2)O)(2)][Cu(7)(micro(4)-I)(3)(micro(3)-I)(2)(micro-I)(4)(I)](1infinity)(2) and finally into a 2D sheet [Y(DMF)(6)(H(2)O)(3)][Cu(I)(7)Cu(II)(2)(micro(3)-I)(8)(micro-I)(6)](2infinity)(3) by H-bond templating.
