Abstract: A new mixed-metal complex, [CuI(C₁₂H₈N₂)₂]₂[CdI₄], with an asymmetric unit consisting of one [CuI(phen)₂]⁺ cation (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) and half of a [CdI₄]^2- anion lying on a twofold rotation axis, has been synthesized. The Cu²⁺ ion in the [CuI(phen)₂]⁺ cation is five-coordinated by two bidentate phenanthroline ligands and an iodide ligand. The crystal packing is stabilized by intermolecular C-HI hydrogen bonds.
