Abstract
A symmetric bi-carboxylic acid functionalized salen-type ligand was used as organic linker to prepare a Cu-based infinite coordination polymer. The analytical data demonstrated that the proposed structure contains one bi-carboxylic acid salen type ligand and two copper cations in each monomeric unit. One of the Cu2+ cations is coordinated by N2O2 site of salen ligand and the other one acts as node to connect metal-organic linkers to each other. The reasonable formation mechanism for coordination polymer formation proposed which shows the formation of nanoparticles from intertwined oligomer chains. The prepared coordination polymer was used as a good precursor to synthesis copper oxide nanoparticles with larger band gap relative to bulk CuO.
