Mutually Interpenetrating Sheets and Channels in the Extended Structure of [Cu(4,4′‐bpy)Cl]

Abstract

Bis-monodentate 4,4′-bipyridine ligands link μ2-chloro-bridged Cu1 dimers to form an extended structure containing channels that are of comparable size to those in some zeolites (drawing on the right; dark spheres, Cu; large shaded spheres, Cl).
