Three-dimensional [CuX(TAA)]n (X=Br (1), I (2)) and bi-dimensional [AgX(TAA)]n (X=Cl (3), Br (4)) coordination polymers have been isolated by direct synthesis between copper(I) and silver(I) halides and thioacetamide (TAA). These are multifunctional materials showing electrical conductivity (values at room temperature ranging from 7×10-6 to 2×10-9 S·cm-1) and luminescent in the blue region. Unusual solubility of 1-4 in different solvents and recrystallization process observed for 1 and 2 in acetonitrile and for 3 and 4 in pyridine has been measured. We show preliminary results of the processability of 2 on glass for the production of organized thin films. These results are very attractive for the processability of coordination polymers in materials science and nanoscience.
