Abstract
Reaction of cyclopentanone N4-ethylthiosemicarbazone with copper (I) iodide in the presence of triphenyl phosphine as a coligand resulted in the formation of the title compound, which crystallized as the acetonitrile solvate, G44H45CuIN3P2S· 2CH3CN or [CuI(C8H15N3S)(C 18H15P)2]·2C2H3N. The monomeric form of the complex has a slightly distorted tetrahedral Cu coordinated by the S atom of the thiosemicarbazone ligand, with a Cu-S distance 2.3516 (7) Å. The Cu-P distances are 2.2876 (7) and 2.2959 (7) Å, and the Cu-I distance is 2.6547 (4) A. One of the NH groups of the thiosemicarbazone forms an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the I atom, while the other NH group forms a hydrogen bond to a solvent molecule.
