The title complex, [Cu(C32H28N2)2]I3, contains cations having CuI coordinated by four N atoms of two N,N′-bis­(3,3-diphenyl­prop-2-enyl­idene)ethane-1,2-diamine (Phca2en) ligands in a distorted tetra­hedral fashion and isolated linear I3 anions. The Phca2en ligand adopts a Z,Z conformation and acts as a bidentate ligand coordinating via two N atoms to the Cu atom. The Cu and central I atoms are located on twofold axes.

Geometry. All e.s.d.'s (except the e.s.d. in the dihedral angle between two l.s. planes) are estimated using the full covariance matrix. The cell e.s.d.'s are taken into account individually in the estimation of e.s.d.'s in distances, angles and torsion angles; correlations between e.s.d.'s in cell parameters are only used when they are defined by crystal symmetry. An approximate (isotropic) treatment of cell e.s.d.'s is used for estimating e.s.d.'s involving l.s. planes.

Refinement. Refinement of F2 against ALL reflections. The weighted R-factor wR and goodness of fit S are based on F2, conventional R-factors R are based on F, with F set to zero for negative F2. The threshold expression of F2 > σ(F2) is used only for calculating R-factors(gt) etc. and is not relevant to the choice of reflections for refinement. R-factors based on F2 are statistically about twice as large as those based on F, and R- factors based on ALL data will be even larger.
