Direct synthesis and crystal structure of tetrameric copper(I) iodide with trimethylamine [CuI(NMe 3)] 4

The tetrameric cluster [CuI{N(CH 3) 3}] 4 has been synthesized directly from copper powder and trimethylammonium iodide in non-aqueous solutions (acetonitrile, N, N-dimethylformamide) and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The compound [CuI{N(CH 3) 3}] 4 possesses a molecular structure. A tetra...

Description
Summary:The tetrameric cluster [CuI{N(CH 3) 3}] 4 has been synthesized directly from copper powder and trimethylammonium iodide in non-aqueous solutions (acetonitrile, N, N-dimethylformamide) and characterized by X-ray crystallography. The compound [CuI{N(CH 3) 3}] 4 possesses a molecular structure. A tetrahedral Cu 4 cluster with short CuCu distances (2.67 Å) is surrounded by an I 4 tetrahedron, thus each face of the Cu 4 tetrahedron is centred by a μ 3-bridging iodine atom.
