Interesting Copper(I) Coordination Polymers of Heterocyclic Monothioether Ligand Containing Long S-Hexadecyl Chain: Syntheses, Structures and Properties

Bis(μ-di-2-pyridyl disulfide-κN,S:N')di-μ(3)-iodido-di-μ(2)-iodido-tetra-copper(I)

In the centrosymmetric tetra­nuclear title compound, [Cu₄I₄(C₁₀H₈N₂S₂)₂], there are two different Cu^I atoms with tetra­hedral coordination geometries. One is chelated by a pyridine N atom and an S-donor from one di-2-pyridyl disulfide ligand and coordinated by two I atoms, while the second Cu^I atom is coordinated by a pyridine-N and three I atoms. Iodine bridges between the Cu^I atoms form a tetra­nuclear structure.
