Abstract
A new cuprous coordination polymer (CP) with 2,2-(1,4-butanediyl)bis-1,3-benzoxazole (BBO) and triphenylphosphine sulfide (SPPh3) ligands, {[Cu(BBO)(SPPh3)]ClO4}n (1), has been characterized by elemental analysis, UV-Vis, infrared spectra and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The structural analysis revealed that 1 exhibits a one-dimensional CP and is in a three-coordinate slightly distorted trigonal planar environment in which the total angle around the copper(I) atom is 359.2°. Solid luminescence properties investigation showed that 1 had one emission peak at 428 nm (λex = 355 nm, blue luminescence), which may be attributed to MLCT [(d10(Cu)→π*]. The cyclic voltammogram of 1 represents irreversible Cu2+/Cu+ pairs. The antioxidant activity experiment shows that 1 has the potential ability to scavenge hydroxyl and superoxide radical in vitro studies.
