Abstract
The preparation of a copper(I) iodide complex with a N-donor ligand 3–methyl–2–phenylpyridine of formula [CuI(3–methyl–2–phenylpyridine)2] is described. The isolated complex was characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy and crystallographic studies. Single crystal X-Ray diffraction analysis of the complex reveal their monomeric tri-coordinated nature. The coordination polyhedron around the copper center may be described as a distorted trigonal planar geometry. The Cu–N distances for this compound are 1.984(7) and 1.982(7) Å, while the Cu-I distance is 2.5507(9) Å.
