Abstract
Solvothermal reactions of [Et4N][Tp*WS3(CuCl)3] (1) (Tp* = hydridotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate) with CuCN and KCu(CN)2 afforded two [Tp*WS3Cu3]-based coordination polymers [Tp*WS3Cu3(μ3-DMF)(Cu(CN)3)]2 (2) and K[Tp*WS3Cu3(μ3-DMF)(Cu2(CN)4.5)]2 (3). The third-order NLO and PL responses of 1 were activated and greatly amplified through its assembly via the [Cu(CN)3]2− and [Cu4(CN)9]5− species in 2 and 3. © 2012 Royal Society of Chemistry.
