title: Crystal structure of (aceto-nitrile-κN)iodido-(2-(naphthalen-1-yl)-6-{1-[(2,4,6-tri-methyl-phen-yl)imino]ethyl}-pyridine-κ2N,N')copper(I).
abstract: In the mononuclear title complex, [CuI(C2H3N)(C26H24N2)], the CuIion has a distorted tetra-hedral coordination environment, defined by two N atoms of the chelating 2-(naphthalen-1-yl)-6-[(2,4,6-tri-methyl-phen-yl)imino]-pyridine ligand, one N atom of an aceto-nitrile ligand and one iodide ligand. Within the complex, there are weak intra-molecular C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, while weak inter-molecular C-H⋯I inter-actions between complex mol-ecules, help to facilitate a three-dimensional network.
