Di-μ(3)-iodido-diiodidobis(μ(2)-4'-phenyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine)tetra-copper(I).

ABSTRACT: The title complex, [Cu(4)I(4)(C(21)H(15)N(3))(2)], lies on an inversion centre located at the centroid of a four-membered ring formed by one of the crystallographically independent Cu(I) ions and a triply bridging iodide ligand. The 2,2':6',2''-terpyridine (phterpy) ligand chelates each of the independent Cu(I) centres in a bidentate fashion, with the N atom of the central pyridyl ring bridging the two Cu(I) centres and those of the outer pyridyl rings binding the two independent Cu(I) ions individually to form a dinuclear system. These are further linked by triply-bridging I(-) anions to form the centrosymmetric tetra-nuclear units. One independent Cu atom binds to each of the inversion-related I(-) anions while the other coordinates to one bridging and one terminal monodentate iodide lig
