A 2-D coordination polymer, [Cu(1,2-en)23-I)2Cu22-I)2]n (1), was formed at room temperature by In situ insertion of [Cu(1,2-en)2]2+ guests into 1-D chains of a [Cu2I4]2− host [1,2-en = 1,2-diaminoethane]. The structure of the complex was confirmed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction study. The shortest copper(I)–copper(I) distance within the complex is 2.89 Å.
