Crystal structure of the coordination polymer -poly[[[(acetonitrile-κ)copper(I)]-μ-1,3-dithiolane-κ ::'] hexafluoridophosphate].

The polymeric title compound, Cu(CHN)(CHS), represents an example of a one-dimensional coordination polymer resulting from the reaction of [Cu(MeCN)][PF] with 1,3-di-thiol-ane. The cationic one-dimensional ribbon consists of two copper(I) centers each ligated by one aceto-nitrile mol-ecule and inter-connected through two bridging 1,3-di-thiol-ane ligands. One S-donor site of each ligand is κ-bound to Cu, whereas the second S atom acts as a four-electron donor, bridging two Cu atoms in a κ-bonding mode. The positive charge of each copper cation is compensated for by a hexa-fluorido-phosphate counter-ion. In the crystal, the polymer chains are linked by a series of C-H⋯F hydrogen bonds, forming a supra-molecular framework.
