Abstract: In this article we report the synthesis of (R,S)-4,4′-biquinoline-6,6′-dimethyl-3,3′-dicarboxylate (DBBD) (1) and the formation of copper(I) coordination polymer [CuI(DBBD)2]n (2) by inducing a bidentate organic ligand (DBBD). The crystal 1 belongs to monoclinic system with space group P21, and a=0.881 30(19) nm, b=1.966 0(6) nm, c=1.478 1(4) nm, β=119.429(12)°, V=2.230 5(10) nm3, Dc=1.276 g·cm-3. The crystal 2 belongs to orthogonal system with space group Fmm2, and a=2.044 41(17) nm, b=1.543 06(13) nm, c=1.652 45(13) nm, V=5.212 9(7) nm3, Dc=1.669 g·cm-3, Z=8. CCDC: 292931, 1; 292934, 2. |
