Abstract :
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.
