Simple Fabrication and Unique Fiber Growth Mechanism of Copper(I) 4-Toluenethiolate-Based Fibrous Coordination Polymer.

Coordination polymers (CPs) exhibit various distinctive properties owing to the metals incorporated in their main chains. These properties make CPs appealing for applications in optoelectronic devices and sensors and as precursors for inorganic materials with controlled morphologies. However, only a few CPs form fibrous structures, and the fabrication methods require complicated procedures, thus, limiting their range of applications.
