Crystal structure of (aceto-nitrile-κN)iodido-(2-(naphthalen-1-yl)-6-{1-[(2,4,6-tri-methyl-phen-yl)imino]ethyl}-pyridine-κ2N,N')copper(I)

The Cu I atom in the mol­ecular structure of the title compound exhibits a distorted tetra­hedral coordination sphere, defined by two N atoms of the chelating ligand, one N atom of the aceto­nitrile ligand and one iodide ligand.

Description
Summary:The Cu I atom in the mol­ecular structure of the title compound exhibits a distorted tetra­hedral coordination sphere, defined by two N atoms of the chelating ligand, one N atom of the aceto­nitrile ligand and one iodide ligand. In the mononuclear title complex, [CuI(C 2 H 3 N)(C 26 H 24 N 2 )], the Cu I 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.
