{4,40,6,60-Tetraiodo-2,20-[2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diylbis(nitrilomethanylylidene)] diphenolato} copper(II)

In the title compound, [Cu(C19H16I4N2O2)], the Cu II atom and the substituted C atom of the diamine segment lie on a crystallographic twofold rotation axis. The geometry around the Cu-II atom is distorted square- planar, which is supported by the N2O2 donor atoms of the coordinated Schiff base. The dihedral angle between the symmetry-related substituted benzene rings is 29.40 (19)degrees. In the crystal, a short I center dot center dot center dot I [3.8766 (6) angstrom] contact is present and links neighbouring molecules into chains propagating along the a axis.
