metal-organic compounds
A copper(I) complex with triphenylphosphine and 4,4′-bipyridine results in a one-dimensional polymer, {[Cu2(NO3)2(C18H15P)2(C10H8N2)].2C4H8O}n. The Cu centers are alternately bridged by nitrate counterions and bipyridine ligands. The four-membered Cu2O2 ring lies on an inversion center ( − x, − y, −z) and the bipyridyl ligand lies on another inversion center ( − x, − y, −z). The triphenylphosphine ligand coordinates to copper providing a distorted tetrahedral coordination environment, with bond lengths Cu1—P 2.168 (1), Cu—N 2.013 (3) and Cu—O 2.177 (2) and 2.147 (2) Å. The cavities between the chains contain tetrahydrofuran solvent molecules.
