EXPERIMENTAL methods in education, COORDINATION polymers synthesis, INORGANIC chemistry, TRIAZOLES, LIGANDS, X-ray diffraction, and INFRARED spectra

In the past decade, coordination polymer as an interdisciplinary field has expanded rapidly and aUracted much interest of chemistry and materials. However, to the best of our knowledge, the coordination polymer is not involved in the inorganic chemistry experimental teaching up to now. Herein, on the base of our research, we introduce a synthetic experimental teaching of the synthesis and characterizations of the [Cu2I(DETRZ)]n coordination polymer constructed from 3,5-diethy-1,2,4-triazole ligand and [Cu4I4] cubane-like cluster. The foUowing experimental processes are included in this experiment : the synthesis and separation of triazole ligand, the solvothermal synthesis of coordination polymer, the single-crystal data coHection and solution, the crystal structure description, the powder X-ray diffraction, the infrared spectra analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, and so on. The coordination polymer experiment presented in this paper is simple and reliable, which combines the inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and crystaHography, and effectively helps the undergraduates to learn the frontier of inorganic chemistry and coordination chemistry.
