Banded ribbons of Cu6I6 hexamers and multimodal thioether pyrazine ligands linked by selfcomplementary NH–C synthons

The multimodal coordinating ability of a new thioether pyrazine ligand was used in conjunction with CuI to construct one-dimensional banded ribbons containing Cu6I6 hexamers which formed two-dimensional sheets through (pyrazine)NH–C(methylene) interactions.
