Abstract

Solution reaction of Cu(I) iodide with chiral-carbon skeleton ligand 2,3-di(4-pyridyl)-2,3-butanediol (meso-dpb) in DMSO generated a novel 2D coordination polymeric cluster [(CuI)4(dpb)4(DMSO) 4(CH3OH)4(H2O)]n (1), in which the dpb exhibits a TT conformation and the adaptable Cu2I 2 rhomboid cluster unit facilitates the formation of a final noninterpenetrating motif. The nonlinear optical limiting property of 1 was also studied at 532 nm. The limiting threshold was determined to be 0.42 J cm -2 and this value is three times better than 1.6 J cm-2 of C60.
