    abstract = "The study of coordination polymers continues to be ofgreat interest in the context of their possibility to offer newfunctional materials with interesting magnetic, electrical oroptical  properties.  Much  work  has  been  done  in  theemployment  of  linear  bidentate  molecules  as  bridgingligands,  because  the  dimensionality  of  the  resultantpolymeric structures can be varied with the geometry ofmetal ion. Much less work has been carried out on the useof the non-linear bidentate bridging ligands; an interestingsuch  ligand  with  a  fixed  bridging  angle  is  2,1,3-benzothiazole  (btd).  The  present  work  describes  theemployment of the non-chelating, bent potentially bridgingligand btd in the construction of copper(I) and copper(II)halogeno   polymers.   The   complexes   [CuCl2(btd)]n,[CuCl(btd)]n, [CuBr(btd)]n, [CuBr(btd)0.5]n, [CuI(btd)]n and[Cu2I2(btd)]n  have  been  prepared  and  characterized  bysingle-crystal  and  powder  X-ray  crystallography.  Thecoordination  polymers  adopt  1D  or  2D  structuresdepending  on  the  oxidation  state  of  copper,  thestoichiometry of the complexes, the nature of the anioniccoligand and the coordination (monodentate, bidentate) ofbtd.  The  magnetic  properties  of  [CuCl2(btd)]n  have  alsobeen studied."
