(Acetylacetonato-κ2O,O')(2,2'-bipyridine-κ2N,N')iodidocopper(II): a compound with two molecules in the asymmetric unit due to different π-π interactions.

The crystal structure of the title complex, [Cu(C5H7O2)I(C10H8N2)], in the space group P1 with Z = 4, is stabilized by π-π interactions and weak C-H···I interactions. The presence of two molecules in the asymmetric unit is associated with different intermolecular π-π interactions between two symmetry-related molecules of each type.
