Iodido[5-methyl-1H-benzimidazole-2(3H)-thione-κS]bis(triphenylphosphane-κP)copper(I) methanol monosolvate

Abstract

In the title compound, [CuI(C8H8N2S)(C18H15P)2]·CH3OH, the coordination environment around the CuI atom is distorted tetrahedral, defined by two P atoms of two triphenylphosphane ligands, one S atom of a 5-methyl-1H-benzimidazole-2(3H)-thione ligand and one I atom. The complex molecules and the methanol solvent molecules are connected via N—H...O and O—H...I hydrogen bonds, forming a chain along [010]. An intramolecular N—H...I hydrogen bond is also observed.
