Abstract: The title compound, [Cu(C₁₅H₂₂BN₆)(CO)]·C₂H₃N, crystallizes as neutral [Tp^*Cu(CO)] {[Tp^*]^- = hydrotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)borate} molecular units and non-coordinated acetonitrile molecules. The distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry of the copper(I) centre comprises the three N atoms of the [Tp^*]^- anion [Cu-N 2.033  (2)-2.054  (2)  Å] and the C atom of the carbon monoxide molecule [Cu-C 1.785  (4)  Å].
