Abstract
In the title compound, [Cu(C14H12N2)3](PF6)2·CH3CN, the [Cu(5,6-dmp)3]2+ cationic complex (5,6-dmp is 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) is stabilized by two hexafluoridophosphate anions and one acetonitrile solvent molecule. The coordination geometry around the CuII atom can be described as distorted elongated octahedral with R out = 2.277 (2) Å, R in = 2.052 (2) Å and a tetragonality of 0.9011, acquiring a ‘static’ stereochemistry. In the supramolecular network, there are intermolecular C—H⋯F and C—H⋯N interactions with R 3 3(16), R 2 2(7), R 1 2(4), R 3 3(16) and C 3 2(7) motifs that lead to an infinite three-dimensional network.
