title: Di-mu-iodo-bis{[1,1'-methylenebis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole-kappaN2)]copper(I)}.
abstract: In the title compound, [Cu2I2(C11H16N4)2], each of the two crystallographically equivalent Cu atoms is tetrahedrally coordinated by two N atoms from one 1,1'-methylenebis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole) ligand and two bridging iodide anions. The molecule has a crystallographic center of symmetry located at the mid-point of the Cu...Cu line. One H atom of the CH2 group of the 1,1'-methylenebis(3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazole) ligand interacts with an iodide ion in an adjacent molecule to afford pairwise intermolecular C-H...I contacts, thereby forming chains of molecules running along the [101] direction.
