Abstract
Temperature determines the product: The reaction of triallyl-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-(1H,3H;5H)-trione with CuBr at 60°C affords a copper(I)-olefin coordination polymer with a Cu4Br4 open cubane (left) as a connecting node; when the reaction is repeated at 90°C a Cu6Br6 prismane unit is formed in a coordination polymer (right).
