Polymeric copper complexes are of interest for their magnetic and electronic properties and have served as model systems for biological studies. Structural studies have revealed that many of these polymers involve molecular units bound together by longer-range interactions, while relatively few others are bound by stronger, molecular interactions. Of the latter category, two compounds involve bridging pyrazine ligands to form one-dimensional chains or two-dimensional sheets. Hatfield and co-workers have shown that the orientation of the {pi}-system of pyrazine relative to the copper(II) ion coordination plane is important in the propagation of magnetic exchange interaction. In this paper the authors report the preparation of two polymeric copper complexes in which, similar to the case of the pyrazine-bridged polymers, the molecular distances have been maintained, even though the molecules have been covalently connected to form an infinite linear polymer.
