Coordination polymers from M(hfac)(sub 2) [M = Cu(super II), Mn(super II)] and 4,4'-dipyridyldisulfide

The structure, electronic properties and inclusion phenomena of the self-assembled coordination polymers have attracted special interest. The complexation of 4-PDS with M(hfac)(sub 2) (M = Cu, Mn), affording simple N-coordinated 1:1 polymer complexes 4-PDS.Cu(hfac)(sub 2) and 4-PDS.Mn(hfac)(sub 2) are described.
