1d copper(i) coordination polymer [cu(clba2-1,2-pn)(ncs)]n: synthesis of microparticles and single crystals, crystal structure, and thermal study

In this research, 1d four-coordinate copper(i) coordination polymer [cu(clba2-1,2-pn)(ncs)]n (1) with thiocyanate anion as bridging ligand, where clba2-1,2-pn = n,nʹ-bis(2,4-chlorobenzylidene)propane-1,2-diamine), was synthesized by slow evaporation of solvent at room temperature and characterized by elemental analysis (chn) and single-crystal x-ray diffraction. microparticles of 1 were prepared by an ultrasonic bath assisted synthesis and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem) and elemental analysis. thermal stability of 1 was studied by thermogravimetry (tg) and differential thermal analysis (dta). the structure of 1 consists of 1d polymeric chain in which copper(i) ions are bridged by two thiocyanate groups in an end-to-end fashion, with cucu separation 5.686(4) å.
