The CuX salts (X = Br, I) react with 1,4-bis(cyclohexylthio)butane, L2 , in a 1:1 ratio to form the corresponding isostructural and weakly luminescent 1D coordination polymers [(Cu 2 X 2 )(μ- L2 ) 2 ] n (X = Br, 4 ; X = I, 3 ) as determined by X-ray crystallography. The previously reported reaction...
