A series of copper(I)-halide complexes with 1-[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl]-5-mercapto-1H-tetrazole (HMTZ) as ligand, namely, [Cu3Cl3(HMTZ)]n (1), [Cu3Cl3(HMTZ)]n (2), [Cu3Br3(HMTZ)]n (3), [Cu4Cl3Br(HMTZ)3] (4), [Cu8I(MTZ)4(HMTZ)4]·2I−·ClO4− (5) have been obtained. Complex 1 shows one dimension (1D) structure with [Cu3Cl3] motifs as repeating unit. Complex 2 and 3 show two dimension (2D) inorganic–organic networks with [Cu6Cl6] and [Cu6Br6] motifs, respectively. 4 exhibits a propeller-like [Cu4] cluster. 5 exhibits a flower basket-shaped [Cu8] cluster basing on an iodine template. [Display omitted] A series of copper(I)-halide complexes with 1-[2-(N,N-dimethylamino)ethyl]-5-mercapto-1H-tetrazole (HMTZ) as ligand, namely, [Cu3Cl3(HMTZ)]n (1), [Cu3Cl3(HMTZ)]n (2), [Cu3Br3(HMTZ)]n (3), [Cu4Cl3Br(HMTZ)3] (4), [Cu8I(MTZ)4(HMTZ)4]3+·2I−·ClO4− (5) have been obtained. Complex 1 shows one dimension (1D) chain structure containing [Cu3Cl3] motifs. Isostructural 2 and 3 show two dimension (2D) inorganic–organic networks containing [Cu6Cl6] and [Cu6Br6] motifs, respectively. Complex 4 exhibits a propeller-like [Cu4] cluster. Complex 5 presents a crown-like [Cu8] cluster basing on an iodine template, which is the first example in Cu(I) halide complexes. The thermal stability properties and the fluorescent properties of complexes 1–5 have been investigated briefly.
