Abstract
Copper(I) iodide reacts with 8-((2-pyridylmethyl)thio) quinoline (MPTQ ) to give the tetranuclear cluster complex [Cu4I4(MPTQ)(2)] which has been structurally characterized, showing that the Cu4I4 core exists in a distorted chair-like structure with four copper atoms forming paral lelogram which is bridged by iodine atoms on each short sides, by S, N -MPTQ on each long sides and with two additional iodine atoms face-bri dging sets of three copper atoms on opposite sides of the parallelogra m.
