Abstract

The complex Cu2(μ-dppb)2(μ-Cl)2 has been synthesized from the reaction of CuCl, dppb and (n-Bu)4NCl. The crystal belongs to the triclinic with space group P1. The unit cell parameters are: a = 9. 939(4) Å, b = 10. 083 (6) Å, c = 14.104(5) Å, α = 76.46(3)°, β = 71.02(2)°, γ = 70.87(5)°. The single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that it has a bi-ring structure with a symmetry center at the middle of two Copper atoms. The outer ring is a 14-membered ring of Cu-dppb-Cu-dppb, and the inner ring is a 4-membered ring composed of two Cl- and two Cu (I). Investigation of third-order optical nonlinearity shows that it exhibits considerable nonlinear absorptive and self-defocusing effect with α2 = 1.75 × 10-l3m · W-1 and n2 = 3.19 × 10-18m2 · W-1. CCDC: 193113.
