Structure of a One-Dimensional Copper(I) Polymer with Iodine Bridges

A novel one-dimensional polymeric Cu(I) halide complex with iodine bridges between copper atoms and 2-phenylquinoline as an N-donor ligand is prepared. The complex is characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, and crystallographic studies.The coordination geometry around copper may be described as distorted trigonal planar. The I-Cu-I, Cu-I-Cu, and N-Cu-I angles are 115.90(2)°, 116.37(2)°, and 124.80(8)°, respectively. The Cu-I distances range from 2.563(6) Å to 2.569(6) Å, and the Cu-N bond is 2.016(2) Å, being in good agreement with that in the related structures.
