Copper Polymers Assembled by Aliphatic Dithioether and Polythioether Ligands 

To evaluate the influence of the organic R group of the RS-thioether function and to allow a comparison with ArS(CH2)4SAr (see above), Cul was reacted with 1,4 bis(cyclohexyl)butane CyS(CH2)4SCy. The colorless crystals obtained by reaction in a 1 1 metal to ligand ratio were found to be of composition
