Treatment of an acetonitrile solution of CuI with 1, 10‐dithia‐18‐crown‐6 (1, 10DT18C6) in the presence of Rb 2 CO 3 leads to formation of the lamellar coordination polymer ∞ 2 [Rb{Cu 4 I 5 (1, 10DT18C6) 2 }] ( 1 ).The anionic network of 1 is composed of parallel ∞ 1 [(Cu 4 I 5 ) — ] chains linked by bridging thiacrown ether ligands, pairs of which coordinate the Rb + counter cations. ∞ 3 [Cs{Cu 5 I 6 (1, 10DT18C6) 2 }] ( 2 ) can be prepared under similar conditions but contains separated helical anionic chains. In this case 1, 10DT18C6 ligands bridge copper atoms of individual chains in an intrastrand manner. In contrast the coordination networks in ∞ 3 [(CuCN) 2 (1, 10DT18C6)] ( 3 ) and ∞ 3 [K 2 {Cu 12 (CN) 14 (1, 10DT18C6) 3 } · CH 3 CN] ( 4 ) are both three‐dimensional and based on CuCN‐containing sheets bridged by 1, 10DT18C6 ligands. In the latter compound pairs of K + cations are coordinated by groups of three thiacrown ether molecules. The neutral network of 3 can imbibe up to 31 % KNO 3 per 1, 10DT18C6 pair without loss of lattice integrity.
