4,5-Dihydro-3a, 5a-diazoniapyrene triiodidocuprate(I)

In the dianion of the title salt, (C14H12N2)[CuI3], the Cu-I atom is coordinated by three I- ions that define a nearly trigonalplanar geometry; the Cu-I atom lies 0.1407 (6) angstrom out of the plane. With the exception of the methylene C atoms, the dication is essentially planar (r.m.s deviation =...

Description
Summary:In the dianion of the title salt, (C14H12N2)[CuI3], the Cu-I atom is coordinated by three I- ions that define a nearly trigonalplanar geometry; the Cu-I atom lies 0.1407 (6) angstrom out of the plane. With the exception of the methylene C atoms, the dication is essentially planar (r.m.s deviation = 0.067 angstrom). The most significant interaction between the ions is a C-H center dot center dot center dot I contact.
