Crystal structure of (acetonitrile-κN)iodido(2-(naphthalen-1-yl)-6-{1-[(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imino]ethyl}pyridine-κ2N,N′)copper(I)

In the mononuclear title complex, [CuI(C2H3N)(C26H24N2)], the CuI ion has a distorted tetrahedral coordination environment, defined by two N atoms of the chelating 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)-6-[(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imino]pyridine ligand, one N atom of an acetonitrile ligand and one iodide ligand. Within...

Description
Summary:In the mononuclear title complex, [CuI(C2H3N)(C26H24N2)], the CuI ion has a distorted tetrahedral coordination environment, defined by two N atoms of the chelating 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)-6-[(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)imino]pyridine ligand, one N atom of an acetonitrile ligand and one iodide ligand. Within the complex, there are weak intramolecular C—H...N hydrogen bonds, while weak intermolecular C—H...I interactions between complex molecules, help to facilitate a three-dimensional network.
