Hybrid inorganic-organic polymer analysis

Single-crystal X-ray analysis of compound 8 revealed that it was a novel ID inorganic-organic hybrid coordination polymer (Fig. 12), possessing a linear chain composed by trinuclear Cu3I4 units. The three Cu atoms form a slightly distorted equilateral triangle. A noteworthy structural feature of 8 are... 

Infrared and Raman spectroscopy are powerful tools in the elucidation of the ionic conductivity/ionic association relationship in PE systems. This sort of spectroscopic analysis usually involves the examination of diagnostic bands of the host polymer and of the anion. In the case of the organic/ inorganic hybrid matrices incorporating organic cross-links (e.g. di-ureasils), this study must also include the analysis of the bands characteristic of these functional groups (i.e. urea groups).
