crystallography, spectroscopy and theory
The co-deposition method was used for preparation of the mixed-valence supramolecular compound {[CuI4(O2CCF3)4]2–{μ2-OC(CH3)2}2–[CuII2(O2CCF3)4]}, which consists of copper(I) and copper(II) trifluoroacetate units held together by acetone bridges and intermolecular CuO interactions.
