Two mixed-valence Cu{sup I}Cu{sup II} coordination polymers [Cu{sup I}Cu{sup II}(qdiol)ClL]{sub n} (qdiol{sup 2-}=2,3-dioxyquinoxalinate, L=2,2'-bipyridine, 1; L=1,10-phenanthroline, 2) were obtained in basic ethanolic solution of CuCl{sub 2}, 1,4-dihydro-2,3-quinoxalinedione and L under the solvothermal condition. 1 and 2 are similar in composition, but differ remarkably in structure. The coordination modes of Cu{sup II}, qdiol{sup 2-} and L are identical in both complexes. But the Cu{sup I} ions are two- and three-coordinated, and the Cl{sup -} ions are terminal and bridging, in 1 and 2, respectively, which are relevant to the significantly different C-H...Cl hydrogen bonding pattern of bpy and phen. The temperature variable magnetic susceptibilities show that 1 is paramagnetic and 2 is weakly antiferromagnetic. The complex impedance spectroscopic studies indicate that both 1 and 2 are semiconductors and 2 is more conducting. - Graphical Abstract: Subtly different C-H...Cl bonding nature leads to diverse coordination modes and supramolecular networks, as well as physical properties of two Cu{sup I}Cu{sup II} coordination polymers with similar compositions. Highlights: > Two new Cu(I)-Cu(II) mixed-valence coordination polymers are obtained. > Environments of Cu(I) and Cl are different caused by C-H...Cl H-bonding. > Supramolecular networks are hence diverse. > Magnetic and semiconducting properties are influenced by the structures.
