(2,2′-Bipyridine-κ(2) N,N′)iodido(piperidine-1-carbodithio­ato-κ(2) S,S′)copper(II)

In the title compound, [Cu(C(6)H(10)NS(2))I(C(10)H(8)N(2))], the Cu(II) ion is coordinated by one iodide ion, two N atoms of the bipyridine ligand and two S atoms from the piperidine­carbodithio­ate ligand in a distorted square-pyramidal environment. π–π stacking inter­actions, with centroid–centroid distances of 3.643 (4) Å, between pyridyl rings of the bipyridyl ligands of neighbouring mol­ecules lead to chains propagating parallel to the a axis.
