Low-dimensional hybrid copper halides with novel D6R CU6I6 cores
Two low-dimensional hybrid copper halides, (2,2'-bipy)Cu3I3 (1) and (2,2'-bipy)Cu4I4 (2) (2,2'-bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine), with novel D6R (double six-membered rings) Cu6I6 cores were synthesized by hydro(solvo)thermal reactions and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
