In the title compound, (C12H14N)2[CuI3], the asymmetric unit contains two N-propyl­quinolinium cations which lie on opposite sides of the CuI32− anion. In the anion, Cu—I bond distances lie in the range 2.5161 (13)–2.5529 (12) Å. All of the atoms in the anion are essentially coplanar, with an r.m.s. deviation from the [CuI3]2− mean plane of 0.0001 Å. In the crystal structure, an extensive network of C—H...I hydrogen bonds links the cations and anions into an extended three-dimensional network, with the cations further aggregated through π–π stacking inter­actions [centroid–centroid distances 3.48 (7) and 3.43 (5) Å].

Comment top

In the title compound, (I) Fig. 1, the asymmetric unit contains two N-propylquinolinium cations which lie on opposite sides of the CuI32- anion. In the anion cluster, Cu—I bond distances lie in the range from 2.5161 (13) Å to 2.5529 (12)Å and the I1—Cu—I2, I2—Cu—I3 and I1—Cu—I3 bond angles are 124.29°, 117.02° and 118.69°, respectively. All of the atoms in the anion are essentially coplanar with an rms deviation from the [CuI3]2- mean plane of 0.0001|%A. The inorganic and organic components are linked via C—H···I hydrogen bonds to give a 3-dimensional network, Table 1. The cations are further aggregated through π-π stacking interactions with centroid to centroid distances of 3.48 (7)Å and 3.43 (5)Å respectively between the quinolinium rings, Fig 2.

Experimental top

1-propylquinolinium iodide was prepared as reported in literature (Huang et al., 1988). 1-propylquinolinium iodide (0.30 g, 1.0 mmol) and CuI (0.19 g, 1 mmol) were dissolved in 15 mL DMF and stirred for 20 min to give a clear red solution which was filtered and allowed to evaporate at room temperature. Red block-like crystals formed over one, week in 65% yield. (0.32 g). Calcd. For C24H28CuI3N2 (788.73): C, 36.40 H, 3.52 N, 3.53% Found: C, 36.51 H, 3.55 N, 3.55%.

Refinement top

All H atoms were positioned geometrically and refined using a riding model, with C—H = 0.93 Å for aromatic H atoms 0.97 Å for methylene H atoms and 0.96 Å for methyl H atoms, respectively, and with Uiso(H) = 1.2Ueq(C) for aromatic and methylene H atoms, Uiso(H) = 1.5Ueq(C) for methyl H atoms.

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.
