Tris(5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline-κ(2) N,N′)copper(II) bis­(hexa­fluorido­phosphate) acetonitrile monosolvate

In the title compound, [Cu(C(14)H(12)N(2))(3)](PF(6))(2)·CH(3)CN, the [Cu(5,6-dmp)(3)](2+) cationic complex (5,6-dmp is 5,6-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline) is stabilized by two hexa­fluorido­phosphate anions and one acetonitrile solvent mol­ecule. The coordination geometry around the Cu(II) atom can be described as distorted elongated octa­hedral with R (out) = 2.277 (2) Å, R (in) = 2.052 (2) Å and a tetra­gonality of 0.9011, acquiring a ‘static’ stereochemistry. In the supra­molecular network, there are inter­molecular C—H⋯F and C—H⋯N inter­actions with R (3) (3)(16), R (2) (2)(7), R (1) (2)(4), R (3) (3)(16) and C (3) (2)(7) motifs that lead to an infinite three-dimensional network.
