Conclusion
The study presents a new polymorph of a copper coordination polymer with a distinct crystal structure.
Supporting Evidence
- The new polymorph exhibits a layer structure with a CuN4S2 octahedral geometry.
- The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular π-π stacking interactions.
- The Cu-S bond distances in the new polymorph are shorter than in the first polymorph.
Takeaway
Scientists discovered a new version of a copper compound that has a different arrangement of atoms compared to the first version.
Methodology
The compound was synthesized by heating a mixture of CuSCN and 1,10-phenanthroline in a sealed reactor.
