title: A new coordination tetra-mer of copper(I) iodide and benzyl-dimethyl-amine: tetra-μ(3)-iodido-tetra-kis[(benzyl-dimethyl-amine-κN)copper(I)].
abstract: The title compound, [Cu(4)I(4)(C(9)H(13)N)(4)], has a distorted cubane-like [Cu(4)I(4)] core structure. Each Cu(I) atom is tetra-hedrally coordinated by three I atoms and one N atom of an benzyl-dimethyl-amine ligand. Each I atom acts as a μ(3)-ligand, linking three Cu(I) atoms. The Cu-I bond distances vary between 2.6328 (7) and 2.7121 (6) Å, while the Cu-N bond distances vary between 2.107 (3) and 2.122 (3) Å.
