Abstract

1,4-Bis(imidazol-1-yl)butane was synthesized from imidazole and 1,4-dibromobutane in an alkaline medium. A variation of the molar ratio of reagents in the system copper(II) chloride dihydrate and 1,4-bis(imidazol-1-yl)butane (bImB) upon heating in N,N-dimethylformamide resulted in the synthesis of two new coordination polymers [Cu(bImB)Cl2] (1) and [Cu(bImB)2Cl2] (2), which were structurally characterized. Product 1 was found to possess a chain structure, while structure 2 is built of neutral layers, with the dimensionality of the extended coordination structures being determined by the reaction conditions. The new compounds were characterized by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and powder X-ray diffraction data.
