Abstract

Face-sharing tetrahedra arranged in a helix (idealized form shown below) mark the structure of the iodocuprate 1, which was obtained from Ph4PI, I2, and Cu. Five Cu positions were identified at room temperature; at lower temperatures only three (slow cooling) or four (rapid cooling) are occupied.
