Halogen⋯halogen interactions in the self-assembly of one-dimensional 2,2′-bipyrimidine-based CuIIReIV systems
Two one-dimensional CuIIReIV coordination polymers of the general formula {[ReIVCl4(μ-bpym)CuIIX2]·solvent}n [where bpym = 2,2′-bipyrimidine, X = Cl (1) and Br (2), and solvent = H2O (1) and CHCl3 (2)] have been prepared and characterised structurally and magnetically.
