Intervalence Charge-Transfer System by 1D Assembly of New Mixed-Valence Octanuclear Cu-I/Cu-II/Cu-III Cluster Units
The reaction of Cu(Hm-dtc)(2), Br-2, and CuBr2 yielded a new mixed-valence octanuclear Cu-I/Cu-II/Cu-III cluster, encapsulating a Br anion in the center of the cluster cage. The octanuclear cluster units form a 1D assemblage, which induces intervalence charge-transfer transitions from Cu-II ions to Cu-III ions between the clusters.
