Title: A novel pseudo-2D structural motif in an anionic copper(II) dicyanamide coordination polymer.

Journal Article · · C. R. Chimie

Anionic coordination polymers of divalent first-row transition elements are promising components of multifunctional molecular materials in which electronic conduction and magnetism can coexist. We report that a tetraphenylphosphonium salt containing a copper(II) dicyanamide anion has a novel pseudo-two-dimensional anionic structure and may provide a suitable electrolyte for the electrocrystallization of charge transfer salts. This (PPh{sub 4}){sub 3}Cu{sub 4}(dca){sub 11} salt crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2{sub 1} with lattice parameters, a = 7.1911(4) {angstrom}, = 55.050(3) {angstrom}, c = 11.7964(7) {angstrom}, {beta} = 99.166(3){sup o} and V = 4610.2(7) {angstrom}{sup 3} at T = 298 K.
