Synthesis and Crystal Structure of a One-dimensional Cu(II) Coordination Polymer Bridged by Inorganic CH3SO3− Anions Using Werner-type Cu(II) Complexes as Building Blocks

The reaction of [Cu(PF6)2(py)4] (py: pyridine) with [Cu(CH3SO3)2(py)4], both of which are Werner-type Cu(II) complexes, in a MeOH solution led to the formation of a one-dimensional framework composed of [–{Cu(1)2(MeO)2}–Cu(2)–Cu(3)–Cu(3)–Cu(2)–] repeating units bridged by inorganic CH3SO3− anions.
