metal-organic compounds
The title compound, catena-poly[copper(I)-μ-chloro-μ-[tris(phenylthio)phosphine-P:S]], [CuCl(C18H15PS3)]n, is polymeric. Only one of the S atoms acts as a donor to copper. Tetrahedrally coordinated CuI centres form spiro junctions between five-membered rings (–Cu—Cl—Cu—S—P–), thus forming a helical chain polymer in which the monomeric units are related by a 31 screw axis. Bond lengths at copper are Cu—P 2.2434 (16), Cu—Cl 2.3235 (16), Cu—Cl′ 2.3351 (15) and Cu—S3′ 2.3442 (15) Å.
