Tetra-μ(3)-iodido-tetra­kis­{[ethyl 2-(1H-benzimidazol-1-yl)acetate-κN (3)]copper(I)}

The complex mol­ecule of the tetra­nuclear cubane-type title compound, [Cu(4)I(4)(C(11)H(12)N(2)O(2))(4)], has crystallographically imposed fourfold inversion symmetry. The Cu(I) ions are coordinated in a distorted tetra­hedral geometry by an N atom of a benzimidazole ring system and three μ(3)-iodide ions, forming a Cu(4)I(4) core. In the crystal, complex mol­ecules are connected into a three-dimensional network by C—H⋯O hydrogen bonds involving H and O atoms of adjacent eth­oxy­carbonyl groups.
