Statistical Analysis of Copper(I) Iodide and Bis(Diphenylphosphino)alkane-Based Complexes and Coordination Polymers.

ABSTRACT: The prediction of the metal cluster within a coordination polymer or complex, as well as the dimensionality of the resulting polymer or complex (i.e., 0D, 1D, 2D, or 3D), is often challenging. This is the case for Ph₂P(CH₂)_mPPh₂ ligands (1 ≤ m ≤ 8) and CuX salts, particularly for X = I. This work endeavors a systematic statistical analysis combining studies in the literature and new data, mapping the nature of the resulting CuI aggregates with eight different diphoshphines in 2:1, 3:2, 1:1, 2:3, and 1:2 CuI:Ph₂P(CH₂)_mPPh₂ molar ratios as a function of m, which lead to either pure products or mixtures. Several trends are made relating stoichiometry and chain length to the CuI cluster formed (i.e., globul
