Two polymorphs of bis(1,10-phenanthroline-²N,N')copper(I) iodide

R. Clarke, K. Latham, C. Rix and J. White

Abstract: The title complex, [Cu(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]I, (I), has been crystallized in two polymorphic forms, both containing four-coordinate copper. Both forms are orthorhombic, with form (Ia) crystallizing in the primitive space group Pban and form (Ib) in the c-centred space group Ccca. In (Ia), the complex cation and the I^- anion both have 222 crystallographic symmetry, and in (Ib), the complex cation has approximate 222 symmetry, with the I^- counter-ion distributed over three special positions.

Formula: Two polymorphs of [Cu(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]I
