Unique in situ reduction of copper(II) forming an interesting photoluminescent stair-polymer of copper(I) with a Cu2S2 core.
A novel thiocyanate bridged one-dimensional copper(I) polymer, [CuL(μ-1,1,3-SCN)](n) (L = 5,6-diphenyl-2,3-dihydropyrazine), has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The complex features a copper(I) stair-step polymeric coordination network with a Cu(2)S(2) core. The complex shows strong fluorescence.
