| Summary: | The solvothermal reaction of copper(I) iodide and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) in ethanol yielded the title polymeric compound, [CuI(C12H8N2)]n. The asymmmetric unit comprises one Cu+ cation, one I− anion and one phen ligand. Each Cu+ cation is in a distorted tetrahedral coordination by two iodide anions and two N atoms from a bidentate chelating phen ligand. The Cu+ cations are bridged through the iodide anions, leading to a zigzag chain structure extending parallel to [100]. There are π–π interactions among adjacent phen ligands of one chain [centroid–centroid distance = 3.693 (3) Å]. |
