In this paper, treatment of N-ethyl-benzo[f]quinolium (ebq) iodide and CuI with excess KI afforded an unusual coordination polymer [(ebq){sub 2}(Cu{sub 3}I{sub 4})(CuI{sub 2})]{sub n} (1). 1 crystallizes in tetragonal system, space group P4(2)bc with cell parameters of a=23.2040(6)A, c=6.7393(3)A, V=3628.6(2)A{sup 3}, Z=8, D{sub c}=2.622g/c{sup 3}, R{sub 1}=0.0447 and wR{sub 2}=0.0974. A highly interesting feature of 1 is its presence of mixed types of chains [(Cu{sub 3}I{sub 4}){sub n}{sup -} and (CuI{sub 2}){sub n}{sup -} chain] in one crystal lattice based on supramolecular self-assembly directed by cations. The infinite chains (Cu{sub 3}I{sub 4}){sub n}{sup -} and (CuI{sub 2}){sub n}{sup -} in 1 could be described as the edge-sharing arrangement of CuI{sub 4} tetrahedron. Furthermore, IR, EA, UV-Vis, thermal analysis and optical limiting measurements were adopted to characterize polymer 1. The optical limiting experiment shows that the present polymer exhibits a large optical limiting capacity.
